In a disturbing development, a Chinhoyi man is reported to have killed his wife with a knife on Thursday following a dispute over drink meant for school children.
According to witnesses who were at the scene of the horrific murder, trouble started when the man who has only been identified as Baba Ashy helped himself to the “drink” which was in the house. This did not go down well with his wife, Mai Ashy, who reprimanded him for drinking the drink that was reserved for children to take to school as part of their packed lunches, iHarare reports.
Unfortunately, Baba Ashy did not respond well to the criticism and a heated dispute ensued. Things quickly got out of hand and Baba Ashy took a knife and stabbed his wife.

According to Mai Ashy’s aunt, who was called to the crime scene, her niece was stabbed 3 times. She said that based on her observations, she was stabbed in the back and twice in the neck.
Another neighbour said that the dispute and the subsequent killing occurred in a very short space of time. She said that people barely had time to react from the moment they had the violent altercation to the moment Baba Ashy came inside with a bloody shirt. The neighbour said that at that moment, no one suspected that Baba Ashy had actually killed his wife.
Below is a video of some of the witnesses narrating the sorry events to ZiFM Stereo News,
