Police had to use a TLB shown in the above picture to dig through the toilet where some parts of the deceased were burried.
A case against a Zimbabwean woman in prison for the murder of her husband has been postponed again to September 21 for formal bail application.
The 42 years old made a brief appearance at Mogwase Magistrates Court for a murder she allegedly committed over six years ago, in July 2015.
Nancy Majhoni allegedly assaulted her then husband at the time 44 years old Prosper Chipungare with a hammer multiple times until he became unconscious and fainted on July 28, 2015 not long after a fight started between the two.
This is according to the NPA Spokesperson Henry Mamothame who also that at the time of committing this crime, the couple was renting a room in Ledig near Sun City.
“She then hacked him with a spade and threw the body parts into three different pit latrines before cleaning the crime scene out. Subsequent to the alleged killing, she went to Sun City police station where she reported her husband as missing.”
She then went back home but only confessed to the both families of what she had done early August 2021. The family then came back to South Africa with her where she handed herself to the police.
“She later pointed the police to the different pit latrines where she threw the body parts, six years ago” said Mamothame.
Mamothame added that, the recent postponement was effected due to technical glitches that were experienced with court recording devices. The state and the defence attorney agreed on the date for the commencement of the bail application.
The court also heardggat Majonhi only confessed to the crime after being haunted by her husband’s ghost leading to her losing sleep on ma y occasions
The state intends opposing the granting of bail to the accused.
An investigation by the police is underway and they managed to retrieve a skull and bones which will be subjected to DNA tests.
