Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A 25-year-old woman from Mwenezi District, Masvingo Province, recently appeared in court for allegedly killing her husband.<\/p>\n

Daisy Makanaka Moyo, from Headman Mabhena, Chief Negari, is charged with the murder of 40-year-old Talent Golden Masuku, which reportedly occurred on July 10, 2024.<\/p>\n

During the court proceedings before Justice Sunsley Zisengwe at the High Court in Masvingo, Prosecutor Mike Tembo said Masuku had returned to his ex-wife, Shingirai Mativenga, after a one-year separation. The couple has three children.<\/p>\n

It is alleged that on July 9, 2024, Masuku and Mativenga met at Negari Business Centre in Mwenezi and spent the day together.<\/p>\n

They subsequently arranged to stay at the home of a local villager, Obey Matutu, who provided them with a room.<\/p>\n

On the morning of July 10, at around 5 AM, both Masuku and Mativenga reportedly woke up to find Moyo standing outside the hut where they were sleeping. Moyo is alleged to have struck Mativenga with a log and attempted to bite her.<\/p>\n

In the ensuing altercation, Masuku reportedly intervened and tried to restrain Moyo. Allegations are that Moyo then turned her attention to Masuku, struck him with a log and stabbed him with a kitchen knife, leading to his death.<\/p>\n

After the incident, Moyo allegedly attempted to revive Masuku by placing his head on her knees and calling his name. Moyo told the court that the stabbing occurred accidentally.<\/p>\n

The incident was reported to law enforcement, and Masuku\u2019s body was taken to Mwenezi District Hospital.<\/p>\n

The court was told that Moyo has one child with Masuku, while she insisted that she had three children in total.<\/p>\n

Moyo is represented by lawyer Collen Maboke, and the case was postponed to March 27, 2025.<\/p>\n
