A woman from Mberengwa allegedly teamed up with her husband and killed the husband’s girlfriend whom she accused of wrecking their marriage.

Midlands provincial police spokesperson Inspector Joel Goko confirmed the incident which happened at Vanguard compound in Mberengwa on Friday last week.

He said police have since arrested Privilege Sibanda (26) for allegedly killing Ms Jestina Shoko while her husband Kuraimunaishe Zhou (27) is on the run.

“It is alleged that Zhou was having an extra marital affair with Ms Shoko and the information leaked to Sibanda who then threatened to divorce Zhou,” he said.

Insp Goko said on June 21 at around 4PM, Zhou and Sibanda allegedly went to Ms Shoko’s workplace, knocked at her door and she came out.

The couple allegedly pounced on her and started beating her up forcing her to flee for dear life.
The two accused gave chase and when they caught up with her, they continued assaulting her with stones and sticks.

Inspector Goko said after a while the couple allegedly force marched Ms Shoko through the bush to a disused open cast quarry mine.
At the mine they subjected her to further beatings until she fell unconscious and later died.

He said after realising that Ms Shoko was motionless, the couple allegedly carried her body and dumped it into the disused quarry mine full of water and fled from the scene.State media
