Man Fakes Own Death, Runs To S.A

A Gweru man allegedly faked his own death before fleeing to South Africa in a frenzy that left relatives puzzled.
The incident occurred on Sunday when Emmanuel Maseva of Mkoba 16 disappeared from home and took all his belongings with him before calling his brother John and his in-laws informing them that he wanted to kill his wife before committing suicide.
It is alleged that Emmanuel later called his relatives masquerading as a police officer informing them he had been found dead along Harare-Mvurwi Road and his body had been taken to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals awaiting post-mortem.
John confirmed that his brother faked his own death and “mourners” gathered in Mkoba 16 for three days waiting for his body to arrive so that it would be taken to his rural home.
“We, however, could not locate his body for three days and we searched in other hospitals in Harare but to no avail. We then made a follow-up with the police but they had not received such a report,” he said.
John said Emmanuel later called on Thursday informing his relatives that he was alive and was on his way to South Africa.
John suspected that his brother could have developed a mental illness due to depression.
