The Tshidixwa suburb in Beitbridge is the focus of social media narratives after Farai Prosper Longwe—universally known as “Mr. Grocery”—allegedly shot dead his wife, Nyasha, 32, before turning the gun on himself.
The 34-year-old entrepreneur, owner of a string of grocery stores around Beitbridge, reportedly sealed himself in a bedroom with Nyasha late Wednesday night.

This horrifying incident mirrors several similar cases, setting a worrying trend:
- In Gweru, last month, a couple—Nigel Mukoki and Definite Musomekwa—were found in separate but connected deaths in what is now suspected to have been a murder-suicide. Musomekwa was discovered beside a burnt-out Honda Fit on Fletcher Road near King Cobra Mine; later that day, Mukoki was found hanging from a tree. The case was brutal and mysterious, with reports that she had been left kneeling beside the burning car as flames engulfed her upper body.
- In Triangle, Chiredzi, a 42-year-old man allegedly stabbed his wife over infidelity suspicions, later succumbing to his mental anguish in his own bloody spiral of violence.
- In Waterfalls, Harare, a woman was attacked with an axe in what appeared to be a domestic row, with the husband then turning on himself in a harrowing act of despair.
