Two men from Dotito in Mt Darwin have been arrested for assaulting their mother to death over accusations that she was bewitching them.

Aleck Chandoza, 40, and Edison Chandoza, 39, allegedly used logs to bash their mother to death.

Mashonaland Central provincial police spokesperson Inspector Milton Mundembe confirmed the incident saying the two brother assaulted their mother, Midrone Manuwere, 84, on February 26.

The brothers reportedly pounced on their mother, who had visited her daughter, Tawanda Chandoza, 36, at Tsayi Village in Dotito.

Aleck and Edison only stopped assaulting their mother after villagers came to the scene. The villagers tried to render first aid to Manuwere but to no avail.

Police warned against using violence to settle differences, advising them to seek counselling instead whenever they have disputes.
