A resident of Hopley in Harare, Zimbabwe, has been arrested and arraigned in court for stabbing his girlfriend after she dumped him.
The 40-year-old man who has
been identified as Tichafa Mugwaga, was arraigned before Harare Regional
Magistrate Mr Taurai Manuwere, and charged with attempted murder.
It was gathered that Mugwaga
had been in a relationship with Rosemary Moyo, aged 39, since 2017, and the two
had been living together. However, on the evening of April 30th, at
approximately 7 p.m., Ms Moyo informed Mugwaga of her decision to end their
relationship due to undisclosed reasons. Subsequently, she gathered her
belongings and left Mugwaga’s residence.
While escorting Ms Moyo to the
bus stop, Mugwaga allegedly attacked her with a knife, inflicting a wound on
her collarbone without provocation. Ms Moyo sustained injuries and was promptly
taken to a hospital for medical examination. Fortunately, Moyo was treated and
survived the attack, and this led to the arrest of her ex-lover.
The suspect has been granted
bail of US$50 and remanded in custody until June 4.
