Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A 35-year-old man from Guruve, Mashonaland Central, who is a member of Johanne Marange apostolic sect, is on the run after he allegedly fatally assaulted his wife for refusing to keep her head bald.<\/p>\n

The suspect, Daniel Mufambi, reportedly accused his wife Benedict Mutero (22) of failing to abide by the church doctrine of shaving the head bald.<\/p>\n

ZRP provincial spokesperson Inspector Milton Mundembe told The Herald<\/b> that Mutero died upon arrival at Guruve hospital.<\/p>\n

Insp Mundembe said the incident happened on 28 October 2023, at around 9 AM.<\/p>\n

He said on the fateful day, Mufambi and his wife, who was also a member of the same apostolic sect, had a misunderstanding.\\
\nMufambi accused Mutero of disregarding church doctrine and ordered her to accompany him to a church service but she refused.<\/p>\n

He started flogging her, slapping and punching her all over the body.<\/p>\n

Mutero collapsed and fell unconscious and the husband dragged her into a kitchen hut.<\/p>\n

Mufambi\u2019s mother, Agnes Mufambi (59) who witnessed the violence from her home, 300 meters away, summoned her daughter Tabeth to intervene.<\/p>\n

Tabeth refrained her brother from further assaulting Mutero. The brother of the accused, Obvious, secured transport from Matthew Kagwande (36) from Chingwaru Village.<\/p>\n

They ferried Mutero to the hospital where she was pronounced dead upon arrival.<\/p>\n

Police officers from Guruve attended the scene but Mufambi had already fled.<\/p>\n

Mutero had bruises all over the body and a swollen head.<\/p>\n
