Christmas Day Horror in Glen Norah: Woman Stabs Husband to Death Over Domestic Dispute

Police are investigating a shocking domestic violence incident in Glen Norah, where a man was allegedly stabbed to death by his wife during a heated argument in the early hours of Christmas Day.

 

The deceased, Levy Mautsa, died after sustaining multiple stab wounds at the couple’s home following a dispute that reportedly began late on Christmas Eve.

 

Harare provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza confirmed the incident, saying the argument was sparked by a domestic disagreement over supper.

 

According to police, tensions escalated when Mautsa allegedly assaulted his wife using open hands and damaged her mobile phone during the confrontation.

 

A neighbour, identified as Blessing Chengeti, intervened around midnight after the argument spilled outside the couple’s room, temporarily calming the situation. The couple returned to their room, but police say the calm was short-lived.

 

In the early hours of Christmas morning, the woman allegedly stabbed her husband multiple times with a kitchen knife before fleeing the scene. She reportedly contacted a workmate shortly after the incident, confessing to the attack and urging them to check on her husband.

 

Police who attended the scene found Mautsa dead with deep stab wounds to the neck, left shoulder and back. A kitchen knife believed to have been used in the attack was recovered from the garden outside the house.

 

The body was taken to Sally Mugabe Central Hospital mortuary for a post-mortem examination.

 

Police have launched a manhunt for the suspect, who remains at large, and are appealing to anyone with information that may lead to her arrest to come forward.

 

Inspector Chakanza condemned the incident and urged couples to seek peaceful ways of resolving disputes, especially during the festive season.
