A soldier stationed at 3 Brigade Headquarters in Mutare will
appear in court soon on murder charges after he allegedly poisoned his
maid after she had refused to have sex with him.
Manicaland police spokesman Inspector Enock Chishiri confirmed the
murder which occurred last Friday. He said Musa Bene (35) was left at
home by his wife together with the maid Melody Musindo (22) when the
incident happened.
"Allegations are that Bhene hatched a plan
to rape his maid in his bedroom. He dragged her into the room, removed
her clothes and tried to force himself on her.
The maid resisted
his advances but this did not go down well with Bhene. He started
assaulting the maid using his hands," he said.
Fearing that the girl would spill the beans, Bhene forced the girl to drink poison.
"After drinking the poison the maid told her neighbors that she was
forced to drink it by her employer because she had threatened to tell
his wife about the rape.
The neighbours ferried her to Mutare Provincial Hospital and she was admitted in the intensive care unit where she later died."
Insp Chishiri said on November 18, 2012 Bhene was arrested.
He will appear in court charged with murder
