A Chinhoyi man has k_lled his wife after st@bbing her when he found her having quality time on their bed with her boyfriend.
Fifty-year-old Bwanali Bwanado got home unexpectedly at night on 7 November 2023. On walking into his bedroom, he was shocked by what he witnessed. He saw his wife, Chioneso Ephrame (41), sitting on their bed with her side dude.
An incensed Bwanali whipped out an okapi knife and st@bbed his wife ruthlessly.
Posting on X, the Zimbabwe Republic Police confirmed the tragic incident:
“Police in Chinhoyi are appealing for information which may lead to the arrest of Bwanali Bwanado (50,) who is being sought in connection with a case of murder in which he st@bbed his wife, Chioneso Ephraim (41), to d3ath with an okapi knife after finding her sitting on their matrimonial bed with her boyfriend on 7 November 2023 at a house in Gadzema.”
A relative of the deceased, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told source that after committing the heinous crime, Bwanali called Chioneso’s mother. The relative disclosed:
“Bwanali Bwanado called granny, the deceased woman’s mother, and he said, ‘I have st@bbed your daughter to d3ath. I have left, and you’ll never see me again.’ At that point, he cut off the phone, and when people tried reaching out to him, his number was unavailable. Granny then called Chioneso’s maid, asking what was happening in Chinhoyi. The maid confirmed that it was true: Bwanali had k_lled his wife, Chioneso. She d_ed at Chinhoyi Provincial Hospital.”
Crimes of passion have been prevalent in Zimbabwe. Last week, 35-year-old Daniel Mufambi of the Johanne Marange sect member savagely attacked and k_lled his wife, Benedict Mutero, after she refused to shave her head.
In May, Pascal Dube fatally st@bbed his wife, Aquiline Sadziwa, while she had her baby on the back. Pascal butchered his wife with a kitchen knife before crushing her head with a large rock.
