Man Kills Wife Over Whatsapp Photos
murder charge after he allegedly fatally assaulted his wife
on New Year's Eve accusing her of receiving a Whatsapp
message accompanied by images of male s3xual organs,
Zimbabwean papers report.
Thembinkosi Gumbi, who had initially pleaded guilty to
charges of assault under the Domestic Violence Act, had his
charge changed to murder after his wife Nyarai Moyo (28)
succumbed to the assault injuries on January 5 this year.
The State alleges that on December 31 last year, Gumbi
and his now deceased wife were at home when she received
a Whatsapp image from an undisclosed friend.
Gumbi said he was angered when he saw the image which
he alleged showed male private parts being sent from a
number he suspected to be his wife's male friend and
started assaulting her.
The woman allegedly dashed out of the house and locked
herself inside the couple's car, but Gumbi smashed the
windscreen with a disused shock absorber. He continued
assaulting her all over until she collapsed.
"The now deceased suffered a cracked skull bone,
lacerations on the forehead and injuries all over the body
(sic) and could not talk when she was taken to hospital due
to the assault," read part of the State outline. She was
assisted by a neighbour who carried her to the police
station. Gumbi was remanded in custody to January 20
