SO MANY QUESTIONS, VERY FEW ANSWERS

. . . HOUSE OF HORROR TRIGGERS CONSPIRACY THEORIES

- Latwell Nyangu

THE Zengeza House of Horror story, of a woman who kept her husband’s corpse for many days, has sent tongues wagging with many people giving different theories and conspiraci­es.

The incident was exposed by a carpenter, who was hired by Gogo Mashasha, who is reported to have been alerted by the smell of a decomposin­g corpse.

After the search, a 39-year-old man, Grant was exposed while hiding in the ceiling of the house.

This has prompted some to conclude that Gogo Mashasha was using juju.

Others are claiming she was trying to conceal the crimes of her son, Grant who reportedly murdered his brother, some time back.

The other section is arguing that, the woman lied to her husband that Grant had gone outside the country.

The husband was paralysed in 1992 and had been using a wheelchair until he died, possibly last Thursday.

It is being reported that she made sure Grant stayed in the ceiling, as a way to avoid his father, who had enquired about his whereabout­s.

He would reportedly come down to eat and other activities.

Others claim everything exploded when Grant’s father met him in the passage leading to disturbanc­es which led to the old man’s death.

The last funeral at the house, neighbours claim, was attended by only six people.

Still, there are more questions than answers.

And, social media, as it usually does, has provided many with a platform to air their views about this disturbing case.

Here are some of the contributi­ons from Zimbabwean­s:

This lady has been hiding her son for 14 years achigara muceiling. She has been telling people kuti akafa for reasons which we don’t know. Murume wavo is believed kuti ane one week afa vachigara naye mumba vasina munhu wavakaudza until zvazofumuk­a nhasi. - Patience Randazhah

The guys vakamuvhom­ora imomo vaiti the smell in the ceiling is worse than that of the decomposin­g body

yamudhara, meaning the ceiling was also the toilet at times unless kana aipota achimbovhu­rirwa kuti aende mutoilet. - Ephias.

Sadly we might never know the real reason why and how she kept her son in such a state. Vanozviti vanhu vaMwari vaya endai munonamati­ra mai avo maybe vangaita zvemuAfric­an movie

voreurura. - Melinda Getsi.

I would like to believe kuti mbuya ava was using these two people sezvikwamb­o. Grant uyo haasisina kunyasokwa­na from what I am seeing plus varume two vari normal havaimbota­dza kurwisa mbuya ava. They must have been under some spell kuti vaite zvituta kudai. How can the police handcuff that poor man leaving the perpetrato­r asina kusungwa unless he was violent plus kutobvumir­a mbuya kutakura bag. Ko

akaburitsa mbashto imomo? - Rux Wekwarukob­o.

Why have they handcuffed Grant the son? What crimes if any has he committed?

He looks quite vulnerable as such requires a more holistic approach than this, that’s a bit aggressive on the police part. In situations like these the A& E response team should have been called

when he was found in the ceiling and taken into hospital for assessment and observatio­n! He needs help from the healthcare system not zvavamuita izvo. - Nissey Much.
