Woman m_rders unfaithful husband

Woman m_rders  unfaithful husband

A pr3gnant woman was thrown behind bars for an effective two years for culpable hom!cide after she fatally st*bbed her husband who was caught being int!mate with a married woman in a bush.

Precious Machivenyika was facing a charge of m_rdering his husband Tichaona Chikonje but was convicted of the lesser charge after a full trial before High Court judge, Justice Munamato Mutevedzi.

The judge sentenced Machivenyika to five years in prison of which three years were suspended on condition of good behavior.

Machivenyika st_bbed her husband,Tichaona Chikonje , who was trying to prevent her from committing su!cide over the deceased infidelity.

Chikonje was caught red-handed being int!mate with Fungai Nyamurenje on June 24 last year at Iron Mask Farm, Mazowe.

Nyamurenje’s husband managed to contain his anger before telling Machivenyika, who was pr3gnant at the time, of the !llicit aff*ir.

Machivenyika confronted him over the infidelity, which he did not deny. She attempted to commit su!cide by ingesting paraquat.

She took an okapi knife intending to k!ll herself. Chikonje followed his wife in a bid to restrain her and the two wrestled before he was st*bbed on the thigh in the melee.

He bl3d profusely until he collapsed.

He was taken to Concession Hospital where he di3d upon admission.

A post-mortem indicated that Chikonje died due to hemorrhagic shock from the st*b wound.

In her defense, Machivenyika said she had no intention of k!lling her husband and just wanted him to let go of her so that she could commit su!cide.

In passing sentence, Justice Mutevedzi found that the atta(k on the deceased occurred in the heat of the moment, noting that Machivenyika wanted to commit su!cide while the deceased was bent on preventing her from doing so.

“That she directed the st*b at the deceased’s leg when she could have easily targeted more vulnerable and more dangerous parts of the body illustrates her sincerity in that she did not intend to k!ll him, but to merely extricate herself from his grip,” said Justice Mutevedzi.
