Zvenyika Bhasera, 42, from Mundzingwa village, Zimbabwe allegedly struck his wife, Vongai Muonde, 36 with an iron bar on the head after finding her busy feeding another man in a secluded bushy area.
Bhasera who was allegedly watching the drama from a nearby hide-out was incensed after he saw his wife taking food to her alleged lover at their usual love nest in the village.
Bhasera then allegedly saw his wife and the suspected lover briefly chatting before his wife started feeding her lover.
In a fit of rage, Bhasera armed himself with an iron bar and charged towards the couple.
He allegedly struck his wife thrice on the head with an iron bar resulting in her falling unconscious.
The alleged lover fled from the scene but Bhasera’s wife was taken to Negovanhu clinic where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Masvingo police spokesperson Inspector Peter Zhanero yesterday said Bhasera had since been arrested and was being charged with murder.
He said his wife’s body was taken to Silveira Mission Hospital for a post-mortem.
