A Chivi man allegedly went berserk over the weekend and fatally struck his wife and stepson with an axe before hanging himself, following a dispute over infidelity.<\/p>\n

Lovemore Gwatipedza reportedly killed his wife Kudzai Matsa and his stepson Partson Manhungiri of Marembwa Village in Madyangove Communal Lands.<\/p>\n

He struck both of them on the neck. After killing his wife and stepson, Gwatipedza hanged himself with a wire.<\/p>\n

The deceased\u2019s bodies were discovered by a curious neighbour on Saturday morning, who paid a visit after noticing that the homestead appeared to be deserted.<\/p>\n

Acting Masvingo provincial police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa said the bodies of the trio were taken to Chivi District Hospital for post-mortem.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are still investigating the case to establish what caused the tragic incident,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Asst Insp Dhewa said police found a blood-stained axe and knife at Gwatipedza\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

It is alleged that last Friday night, neighbours heard Gwatipedza involved in a heated argument with his wife.<\/p>\n

He accused her of having extra-marital affairs with several men in the village and it is suspected that he then proceeded to kill her and the stepson.<\/p>\n

The neighbour who visited the homestead peeped through a broken window after he had called Gwatipedza\u2019s name and got no response.<\/p>\n

Gwatipedza\u2019s lifeless body was hanging on a roof truss, while the wife and stepson were lying dead in a pool of blood. A report was made to the village head who alerted the police.<\/p>\n
