Terrence Mawawa| In a nerve-racking story which sounds like fiction, two babies were stolen from a mother as she lay in bed soon after giving birth at Gweru General hospital. The doctor, allegedly snatched the two kids, part of a triplet and after lying that they had died, sold them to notorious bidders.
A 21 year old woman has stepped up efforts to locate her two siblings stolen by the medical doctor (name supplied) soon after birth.
The woman, was born part of a triplet and her other two siblings are missing ever since 1995. The doctor having claimed they were siamese twins, without any evidence reportedly smuggled the kids and they have been living in separation for over 21 years.
She said the doctor told her parents her two siblings were inseparable such that there was need to consult specialists in Harare to perform the separation.
However her two siblings were pronounced “dead” a week after being transferred to Harare.
To her surprise, the Gweru lass says she was shocked to see the picture of another young lady who was identical with her on a certain whatsapp group.
“When I looked at the girl’s picture, I was shocked because we looked alike. I then tried to contact her but she was now off-line”.
Together with her mother they then traveled to the births and deaths registry in Gweru and corroborated with the hospital which confirmed that there are no death certificates for the other two so called “siamese twins”.
An elderly hospital nurse then alleged that the siblings were taken away from the hospital with the help of a medical doctor.
“I am just hoping I will find my siblings,” said a devastated (name withheld). The story is featured in Tete Rasta’s program this week.
