H-metro reports that the 17-year-old teenager from Landa’s business centre in Chihota of Zimbabwe reportedly stabbed his cougar several times before committing suicide in police cells.
Timothy Blessing Chinhengo reportedly trailed Patricia Chiweshe, who is in her late 30s and saw her coming from a toilet in the company of a man last weekend at Landas. The man who has been suspecting the woman allegedly stabbed Patricia several times on the head using a glass. She is reportedly battling for her life at Parirenyatwa group of hospitals.
He was later arrested last week on Saturday and is believed to have hanged himself at Mahusekwa police station in a cell using a strap from the blanket cell.
Confirming the incident, a police source said: “It is believed that he used a strap from his blanket in the cell to hang himself from the window in his cell. He was sharing the same cell with another suspect.
The other suspect was taken for investigation and when an officer returned the suspect to the cell, he found Timothy dead,” revealed the source.
Also speaking, Timothy’s aunt Sarah Mhondiwa believes that the teenager really wanted to open up about the attack adding that he bid her good-bye in a suspicious manner when she went to visit him at the cells. She recounted how she tried to stop Timothy from dating the cougar but he was said to have been adamant.
“I really don’t know how to explain the story as I’m in shock. Timothy met Patricia at some bar, Patricia was said to be a prostitute at the time. They started co-habiting despite our protests.
The matter was reported to the chief and both were lashed. We even approached the police who said they could not intervene. Vanhu ava vaidanana saka mapurisa vakango siya zvakadaro,” she said.
“After his arrest, I visited him last Sunday while he was in police custody. He told me that he attacked Patricia because she was cheating on him with a guard who works at a bar somewhere at Landas shopping center."
He said he had heard rumors and he finally saw it for himself. Patricia told him to mind his own business. He did not manage to tell me the rest of the story because we were told that visiting time was over.
“Later that day when we wanted to give him food the police told us that he had committed suicide. Timothy would confide in me all the time, he used to say that his wife drives him to drink often and that he cannot even pray anymore. He believed that Patricia had used juju on him”.
