Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A businessman was axed to death and had his legs chopped off by his alleged lover\u2019s husband on Sunday in Tafira village under Chief Mashayamombe.<\/p>\n

The victim, Abia Vimbai Mapininga (67) of Chindavata General Dealer, was allegedly murdered by Doubt Dzama, a suspected gold panner.<\/p>\n

H-Metro reported sources as saying Mapininga was lured to Dzama\u2019s house in a WhatsApp conversation where he was murdered.<\/p>\n

Dzama reportedly found Mapininga\u2019s love messages in his wife Sharon Dzama\u2019s cellphone and he decided to trap him. Said the source:<\/p>\n

Vimbai had been bedding Sharon for some time. He would visit her at night whenever Dzama was away gold panning.<\/p>\n

Residents tipped Dzama and he returned unexpectedly and took his wife\u2019s mobile phone.<\/p>\n

Abia was lured to the house and, when he entered, Dzama struck him on the head with an axe and also chopped his legs off.<\/p>\n

ZRP spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the murder. He said:<\/p>\n

Police are investigating a murder that took place in Tafira village under Chief Mashayamombe.<\/p>\n

The deceased was reported to have left his home at around 9 pm. He told his wife that he was going to the shops, but instead went to visit his married lover.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival, he found his lover with her husband and the two fought and the deceased was struck with an axe.<\/p>\n

He was rushed to a clinic and pronounced dead upon arrival.<\/p>\n

The accused person was reported to have informed the kraal head and disappeared.<\/p>\n

Nyathi urged members of the public to avoid taking the law into their own hands.<\/p>\n
