Zimbabwe Police Arrest Suspects in Viral Assault Video

By Dorrothy Moyo | ZimEye | Harare, Zimbabwe — The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) have arrested two women who were seen assaulting another woman in a video that has gone viral on social media. The altercation reportedly stemmed from allegations that the victim was having an extramarital affair with one of the attackers’ husbands.

In a statement posted on their official Twitter account, the ZRP confirmed the arrests and assured the public that the suspects are now in police custody. The police indicated that the incident, which has drawn widespread attention online, is being thoroughly investigated.

“The ZRP reiterates that the public must exercise self-restraint when faced with disputes or disagreements with friends, relatives, or any member of the society,” the statement read. “Communities are implored to find peaceful ways of resolving differences or disputes without resorting to violence.”

The video, which shows a violent confrontation between the two women and their alleged rival, has sparked extensive debate on social media regarding domestic disputes and violence. In response, the police are urging citizens to refrain from taking the law into their own hands and to seek non-violent methods for conflict resolution.

As the investigation continues, the ZRP has called for calm and underscored the importance of maintaining peace and order. Further details regarding the case will be shared as they become available.-ZimEye
