A source said the Patrick Mhou was assaulted by his sons Prosper, Aaron, Evans and Solomon several times on the head. They accused him of causing miscarriages to one of his daughters-in-law.
Zaka RDC Ward 1 Councillor Jakatira Makuyana confirmed the incident saying the four sons had reportedly connived to kill their father.
One of the family members said the dispute started when Solomon’s wife consulted a prophet who then told her that she had suffered many miscarriages due to the magical _exual abuse.
The source said Patrick had on the other occasion admitted using the juju when he was dragged to the prophet. He, however, provoked his sons’ anger by refusing to hand over his walking stick which reportedly acted as his talisman.-TellZim
