A WOMAN from Bulawayo rushed in panic to alert her boyfriend’s wife after unknown assailants attacked and killed her lover while the two were having sex in a bush.
The duo was allegedly attacked by two people who were wearing black clothes that covered them up at a rocky area between Mabutweni and Njube suburbs at about 10PM on Saturday.
The incident happened some metres away from the man’s house in Mabutweni.
Jameson Mwembe allegedly took advantage of an electricity blackout to have a tryst with Fadzai Mativenga (33), one of his neighbours.
Mativenga is in a critical condition at Mpilo Central Hospital as she sustained head injuries.
Mwembe’s wife, Mrs Rudo Mwembe, said a bloodied Mativenga broke away from the assailants and rushed to inform her that her husband had been attacked.
She said Mativenga initially lied to her.
“At around 10PM, this woman came and knocked at my door, she called me by name. She told me that she was on her way from church when she found my husband lying lifeless on the ground. I suspected she had a hand in my husband’s attack because why would she know me by name and my house.

“When l wanted to rush to get a vehicle to take my husband to hospital, she said we should first rush to the scene and check if he
was still breathing,” said Mrs Mwembe, who struggled to speak between sobs.
She said she only learnt that Mativenga was Mwembe’s girlfriend when the police were
taking statements. “Fadzai told the police a different story, she said they were together when my husband was attacked,’’ Mrs Mwembe said.
The Chronicle caught up with the family and neighbours and most of them blamed Mativenga for Mwembe’s death.
A neighbour who declined to be named said:”This was not a random attack. I suspect these murderers are her boyfriends because such ladies are a nuisance. They play games
with many men.”
When The Chronicle visited the scene where the attack occurred, there was a congealed pool of blood near a big rock.
“His parents will know what to do with it (the blood),’’ said a relative.Chronicle
