HARARE – John Bangamuseva from the sprawling slum settlement of Epworth allegedly killed his friend only identified as Tatenda after he suspected him of bonking his wife in his absence.
It is believed that the now deceased, who was identified as Tatenda(26), was struck by his friend John Bangamuseva after the latter suspected that he was having an affair with his wife Jane Manyiyo.
According to Jane, they were staying with Tatenda in their rented one room, however, trouble started when John suspected the deceased of bonking her.
“Bangamuseva and Tatenda were friends and we stayed together in our one room house. The two would drink together and come home, but trouble started when my husband suspected that I was sleeping with Tatenda,” she said
“Honestly speaking, Tatenda made advances to me but I refused and did not even tell my husband. There was nothing between the two of us.”
Close sources dismissed Jane’s assertion, saying Bangamuseva was not his husband but she was a sex worker.
“This lady is a well-known hooker, honestly how on earth can you stay in the same room with a friend? She was having an affair with both men, however, John became jealousy and started beating Tatenda with bare hands later on he took a log and struck him on his back,” said the source.
Bangamuseva is currently in police custody and expected to appear in court soon.
