Zaka Villagers Shocked After Sibling Girls, Aged 2, 4 & 8 Are Axed To Death By Stranger
Kudzidzvara, The Chronicle was told, picked up an axe resting against the wall of one of the huts and struck Angela on the head and left shoulder, leaving her for dead. Kudzidzvara then chased after Dzinorumwa who was screaming for help.
Insp Mazula said: “I can confirm receiving a report of murder where a man killed three girls from the same family in Zaka. He also attacked the mother. The suspect has been arrested and is assisting police with investigations.”
When The Chronicle visited the Dzinorumwa family in Zimhungu Village on Wednesday, Kwangwari — who was still in pain — had been prematurely discharged from hospital to attend her children’s burials. She was unable to talk.
The burial of the three children was scheduled for yesterday afternoon in the same village. Dzinorumwa said he is finding it hard to come to terms with the tragedy. “I’m still in shock because I gallantly fought this armed man. He picked an axe behind my bedroom door, struck my wife and ran after me, threatening to kill me,” he said.
His dazed wife staggered to a bedroom hut where the children were sleeping and locked the door. Dzinorumwa said Kudzidzvara — who is unknown to him — went back and broke down the locked door before gaining entry. “He dragged my children out before striking them with an axe leaving their skulls open. All my three daughters were killed in a cruel manner,” he said, fighting back tears.
“Kudzidzvara could’ve dragged Lettecia and Margret outside, a few metres from the hut before killing them. I believe that’s where they were murdered since there was no sign of blood in the hut. Their bodies were left lying in a pool of blood.
“He left the axe embedded in Loina’s head. He dragged her body for about 60 metres from the yard, apparently in a failed attempted to remove the axe.” Chief Ndanga said the blood-curdling murder had terrified villagers. He dismissed claims by some villagers that Kudzidzvara was mentally unstable.
“My people are devastated and frightened. We’ve never witnessed such an African-movie-kind of incident. We wonder why this evil visited us,” said the chief. Judging by the way he was responding when he was questioned by the police, said the traditional leader, Kudzidzvara is of sound mind.
“Anyone who suggests otherwise may be lost. We’ll engage his family so that they help in cleansing the homestead to rid my area of bad omen,” said the chief. Walter Mswazie in Zaka, source chronicle
