Jealous First Wife Axes Pregnant Second Wife

The first wife of a man who was neglected by her husband after he got married to a second wife went crazy and used an axe on the second wife who is pregnant.

She did not spare this poor woman and after she had unleashed her anger, she then turned to herself and did the unexpected.

She committed suicide. It was said that Alice Makohomero who was 35 years old was apparently overwhelmed by jealousy as she suspected that the junior wife was getting more se* rounds in the bedroom than what she was getting.

Assistant Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa of Masvingo police said "I can confirm receiving a report of sudden death by hanging. However, we're yet to gather information on what exactly transpired," said Asst Insp Dhewa.

Rafael Mutombwa, a relative, said

"On Thursday at around 11AM, Makohomero asked why Mupfumirwa woke up late yet she knew that it was her turn to do household chores. Mupfumirwa felt that Makohomera had no right to tell her what to do even if she was the senior wife.

“Makohomero was incensed by the response. She also accused her co-wife of getting too much attention from their husband. Makohomero complained that ever since her husband married a second wife, she had been sexually starved," Mutumbwa said.

 

"After realising that she was being overpowered by the eight-month-pregnant Mupfumirwa, Makohomero pulled an axe from a pile of firewood and struck her twice on the head. Mupfumirwa fell down, bleeding profusely until she became unconscious."

Mupfumirwa was rushed to Silveira Mission Hospital where she was referred to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals in Harare.

"Her condition is critical," he said. "A search party was arranged to look for Makohomero. She was found hanging from a tree, just a few metres from her homestead. She was buried on Saturday in the same village after post-mortem was waived," he added.
