ZIMBABWE – A father has killed his 13-year-old son for telling his mother the truth.
The father has been identified as Mandiziva and allegedly assaulted and killed Takunda John Murahwa on the 8th of this month.
Reports indicate that Chenjerai Mandiziva, has appeared at Shurugwi Magistrates Courts facing a murder charge after he allegedly assaulted his thirteen-year-old son leading to his death.
The boy had “naively” told his mother that Mandiziva had spent the night away from the mine where they were working.
The now-deceased boy’s mother then confronted Mandiziva accusing him of infidelity. In a fit of rage, Mandiziva reportedly assaulted his son until he died. The State is opposing bail on the grounds that Mandiziva may interfere with state witnesses.
