HURUNGWE- In a heart-rending horrific incident, a 37 year old Hurungwe man after raping his (12) twelve year old daughter, axed to death his wife, brother in law, as well as a herd boy.
Continuing in the evil horror, he then went on to set alight two tobacco barns before poisoning himself to death, on Sunday night here.
The incident occurred at Hari homestead under headman Bhobho, Kapiri area, Chief Kazangarare situated about 65 kilometers north west of Karoi town.
His brother who had tried to resolve the dispute with the suspect after the shocking revelation of daughter’s rape, is currently nursing wounds at Karoi hospital sustained during the bloody scuffle in the movie style murder.
The survivor, Claudius Big Hari, aged 48 years old, narrated the horror act of his brother Ephraim from his hospital bed on Tuesday. He told ZimEye.com he is still to come to terms with what happened.
Ironically the greatest shock is yet to be unveiled as that his suddenly-murderous brother and three others are now late.

He explained that after the late Ephraim raped his 12 year old daughter, the man became furious at him as elder brother after noticing that her grandchild was no longer a virgin and she had confessed that the father was responsible for violating her.
The late Ephraim raped the daughter on several occasions when his wife was sick.
