Seke man on the run after killing wife’s boyfriend

A Chitungwiza man has gone into hiding after he allegedly stabbed and killed a man he had found locked up with his wife in their bedroom on Tuesday evening.

Police have since launched a manhunt for Ellington Gadzikwa on a charge of murder which occurred at a house in Zengeza 3 at around 7pm.

National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said Gadzikwa allegedly stabbed an unknown man after he had found his wife and the victim in his bedroom with the doors locked in Zengeza 3, Chitungwiza.

“The suspect persuaded his wife to unlock the door, and he locked it from the inside before stabbing the victim with a kitchen knife. After the incident, the suspect fled with his wife and left the victim lying in a pool of blood in an unlocked room.”

The incident comes after a 26-year-old man has been arrested after he allegedly shot and killed another man on Thursday last week who had confronted him on allegations of having an extramarital affair with his wife.

Mthandazo Sibindi has since appeared in court and was remanded in custody until December 8.

Police in Kwekwe had arrested Sibindi after he allegedly shot dead Trymore Sibanda (27) after the victim had accused him of having an extramarital affair with his wife on February 21, 2022 at Simana Village, Silobela.
