Terrence Mawawa, Mvuma | A local woman stunned mourners at her son’ s burial when she urinated into her father-in- law’ s mouth, claiming she wanted to appease the deceased’ s spirit.

The woman, Martha Mudzorwi, of Village 74, Huchu, Mvuma, whose late son was married to Kenneth Zwihoko’s daughter claimed that her son’ s spirit was restless because of the way he died.

Mudzorwi’ s son was hit by a car and died under mysterious circumstances.

Mudzorwi appeared before Magistrate Tayengwa Chibanda in Mvuma last Wednesday. She was charged with public indecency.

The court heard that Zwihoko collapsed soon after his son-in- law’ s burial.

Mudzorwi then went to the place where Zwihoko was lying and urinated into latter’ s mouth.

“Zwihoko died soon after the incident.

Mudzorwi collected a handful of soil from her son’ s grave and shoved it into a sprawling Zwihoko’ s mouth,” Prosecutor Michael Kazomba told the court.

Mudzorwi claimed that she urinated into her in-law’ s mouth to appease her son’ s spirit.

“I wanted to appease my son’ s spirit because he died under hazy circumstances,” said Mudzorwi.

“There were some disputes between my son and our in-laws and surprisingly he died when he had gone to South Africa with his wife,” Mudzorwi said.

Mudzorwi was however acquitted by Magistrate Chibanda.
