A CLEANSING ritual on a Harare couple that has been tormented by a sexually transmitted disease (STD) for over a year recently turned tragic when the woman died in the hands of the self-proclaimed prophet who was performing the rite.
The prophet, Tawanda Vhuso (22) of Epworth was arraigned before Harare magistrate Victoria Mashamba facing culpable homicide charges.
Prosecutors allege that he killed his client, Fungai Funganayi (23) while treating her ailment with sea salt and water.
Funganayi’s husband, Tinashe Muraiwa is currently battling for life in hospital after taking the same medication allegedly prepared by Vhuso.
