By Terrence Mawawa Gutu| A local man shocked neighbours here when he axed his father to death in a grisly murder incident.
The shocking mishap happened last Saturday night when Renias Vhembo of Vhembo Village struck his father with an axe on the forehead, killing him instantly.
Renias who had just finished having supper with his parents left the kitchen and came back armed with an axe and struck his father Wilson Vhembo on the forehead.
A shocked neighbour said there was no confrontation between Renias and his father.
“What surprised us all is that there was no argument between Renias and his father. He had just finished having supper with his parents when he went out of the kitchen and returned with an axe. He struck and killed his father who was relaxing with his back on the wall,” said the shocked neighbour.
After killing his Father Renias charged for his mother Tambudzai Mufuratirwa and his sister Rumbidzai who both fled and locked themselves in the bedroom. Neighbours then confronted Renias who did not make an attempt to run away. “He just sat near his father’s corpse and he never attempted to run away.It was really shocking. Asked why he killed his father he said he wanted to kill all his family members,” said a relative identified as Muzvidziwa.
Renias has since been arrested and is expected to appear in court soon facing murder charges.
