A tragic incident occurred in Kodzwa Village, Chiweshe, on Monday, when a two-month-old infant died after being accidentally struck on the head with a log by her father, Tapiwa Masache, during a domestic dispute. Masache, 26, reportedly intended to strike his wife with the log but missed, hitting their baby instead. The infant was rushed to a hospital in Glendale but was pronounced dead upon arrival. Masache is currently on the run.
In a separate incident, a 30-year-old man, Wilson Mashaya, was fatally stabbed in the chest during a quarrel over beer at a bar in Chiredzi on Saturday. The attacker, identified as Mupfuka, is believed to have been involved in the altercation that led to Mashaya’s death.
