Mutare police are on the hunt for a man in connection with his the death of his wife's lover after a fight ended with the lover falling out a high window.

Manicaland provincial spokesperson Inspector Nobert Muzondo confirmed the incident in which Tawanda Chirenje, 25, confronted his wife who was in the company of an alleged boyfriend, Gift Saungweme, 40.

There had been rumour that the woman at the centre of the matter, Phillipa Dariyana and Saungweme were lovers, and this prompted Chirenje to search for them at a drinking place at 128 Matida Flats.

“Chirenje suddenly appeared armed with a machete where Philippa and her boyfriend were. He grabbed his wife in a fit of rage and dragged her to the entrance.

“Chirenje assaulted his wife with the flat side of the machete, booted feet and fists accusing her of having extra marital affair with Saungweme” reads the Police report.

Chirenje who was still choked with anger then turned on Saungweme whom he also assaulted using the flat side of the machete, booted feet and fists.

Saungweme, who could not stomach the beatings anymore, retaliated and the two wrestled while advancing towards a window.

Saungweme fell from the window which is 15 metres above the ground and sustained head injuries. He was rushed to Victoria Chitepo Provincial Hospital where he died on the day of arrival.
