Brothers kill father over witchcraft

TWO Dotito brothers allegedly fatally assaulted their father after accusing him of witchcraft.

Munyaradzi (29) and Ashly Nyanzira (23) broke into their father’s bedroom on Tuesday and fatally struck him with an iron bar.

They are said to be mentally-challenged. Mashonaland Central police spokesperson Inspector Milton Mundembe confirmed the case.

“I can confirm a murder case in Dotito where Lovemore Nyanzira (60) was murdered by his two sons, who are mentally-challenged,” Mundembe said.

“The duo accused their father of bewitching them and they broke into his bedroom where he was sleeping with their stepmother Juliet Mufuka (32).”

Mufuka fled from the room with her baby, leaving the duo assaulting their father.

She informed a neighbour, and a police report was made leading to their arrest. —
