Wife kills husband, burns corpse. Reason will shock you
A Bulawayo woman, Lakela Sweswe is facing the wrath of the law after stabbing her husband Anofa Mlauzi, following a dispute.
Sweswe is reported to have kept the corpse for two days before dousing it with paraffin and burning it to conceal evidence.
Sweswe allegedly committed the crime in self-defense from her abusive husband who had initially wanted to stab her with the same knife after he had came home at around 1AM in a drunken stupor.
Appearing before High Court judge, Justice Martin Makonese, Sweswe told the court that she had no intention of stabbing her husband.
“When he went out of the room, I thought he was going to arm himself so that he could beat me so I picked up the knife and hid behind the door and when he came in I stabbed him in the throat instead of the arm as I had intended.
“I did not want to stab him but I was overcome by anger, I was angered by his continued physical abuse,” said Sweswe.
Justice Martin Makonese sitting with assessors adjourned the court to today for judgement.
