The confrontation quickly escalated, leading to a physical assault on Norman.He was rushed to Sally Mugabe Central Hospital where he died yesterday.
According to Grace, Norman had insulted her mother when he discovered the affair, which angered the entire family. She stated,
“Ndakaita zvandakaita handirambe tikagadziriswa tikagarisana asi haangatukirire amai vangu nezvinyadzi kudaro.”
She added that Norman ended up consuming poison after the assault.
“Everyone was angered.
“He ended up taking poison after he was assaulted by my relatives.
“I know that you have been informed about what took place that day. I have no other comment, write what they told you,” Grace said.
