WITNESS CLAIMS WEBSTER HAD A WOMAN IN THE FLAT… Details emerge about brutal attack
A WITNESS, who was at the scene during an altercation between a university student and her boyfriend, in which she was stabbed several times, has sensationally claimed that the boyfriend had another woman in the apartment during the fracas.
Audrey Nyasha Rwambiwa was stabbed several times with a kitchen knife by her boyfriend, Webster Mubata, at their apartment in Harare.
Audrey, 25, is a student at the Women University in Africa and stays at Tanaka Place along Josiah Chinamano Avenue in the Avenues area of the capital. The two have been staying together at the apartment. Audrey attended a party at her friend’s home on Friday.
She returned home at around 1 am on Saturday morning and this did not go down well with Webster.
Webster then started assaulting Audrey with clenched fists all over the body.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the witness described the chaotic scene outside the apartment and claimed Webster was inside the flat with another woman.
“There was another girl in the house when we arrived to help Audrey around 1 am,” the witness said.
“By 3 am, we were already at the hospital with her. She came out through the window, bleeding and screaming that they wanted to kill her.”
According to the witness, Webster remained inside the house and refused to open the door when they knocked.
“He told us not to worry and said the issue had been sorted but Audrey was bleeding and severely injured,” the source said. The neighbours immediately contacted Audrey’s family and reported the incident to the police.
The shocking incident has prompted others to come forward with more insights into the couple’s private life.
One neighbour, who also wished to remain anonymous, described the couple as secretive.
“They kept to themselves. We only knew they lived together, but we didn’t know much about them until this tragedy happened early Saturday morning,” the source said.
“The girl was the first to move here and then the guy joined her later.
“The issue of her coming home late, around 3 am, is rumoured to have happened a long time ago and had been long resolved.”
A former colleague of Webster also revealed his volatile temper.
“I used to work with him, and he was very short-tempered. It’s not surprising that something like this happened,” he said. Police investigations are ongoing and Webster is yet to be arrested.
