A 42-year-old man from Concession, Simon Pwiti, axed his wife to death during an infidelity dispute before committing suicide by throwing himself into a moving vehicle.
Pwiti of Ramahori Farm in Concession was found dead along Mazowe- Mvurwi highway near Zanadu with bruises and serious head injuries soon after axing his wife Netsai Bhesanwa, 50.
Deputy Mashonaland Central police spokesperson Sergeant Major Samuel Chikasha confirmed the murder.
“I can confirm a murder case in Concession and sudden death of the suspect who is alleged to have thrown himself into a moving vehicle,” Sgt Maj Chikasha said.
Allegations are that around 6pm on Sunday, the two were quarrelling over infidelity in the presence of Bhesanwa’s daughter.
Around 1pm, Pwiti picked an axe and fatally struck his wife whom he was accusing of having an extra-marital affair with Tanaka Mudzingwa, popularly known as Gunners.
After the gruesome murder, Pwiti vanished and his body was only discovered the following morning.
Police warned couples to shun violence but seek counselling whenever they have differences.
“People should shun violence when solving domestic disputes, couples should seek counselling and advise from elders before engaging in violent conduct which might lead to crimes such as murder,” said Sgt Maj Chikasha.
