In a tragic and disturbing incident, a 32-year-old man from Zengeza 1, identified as Simbarashe Machipisa, was caught fatally att@cking his ex-girlfriend’s young son after she ended their relationship.
The att@ck took place on a Wednesday while the child’s mother was away.
Simbarashe, a tout who had been struggling to cope with the breakup, decided to visit his former partner’s home, hoping to address unresolved issues or seek closure.
Upon arrival, he found that his ex, Nomsa, a hairdresser, was not present. She was reportedly spending the night at her new partner’s house in Zengeza 5.
Although the house was empty of adults, it was not without occupants.
The children of Nomsa were there, including a two-year-old who became the target of Simbarashe’s rage.
