A man who suddenly found out that his wife was
cheating on him, has shown his anger in a really
bizarre way.
The man identified as Knowledge Matwasa,
from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, allegedly shot his wife
11 times before turning the gun on himself after
finding out that his wife was cheating on him.
from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, allegedly shot his wife
11 times before turning the gun on himself after
finding out that his wife was cheating on him.
The man committed the brutal act after
discovering WhatsApp messages and pictures that
suggested she was in love with another man.
According to My Zimbabwe News, the incident
happened last Sunday in Johannesburg, South
Africa when the man, Knowledge Matwasa
allegedly shot himself on the forehead after
shooting his wife Aquila Matwasa.
The two have been married for more than 20 years
and have three children. They are, however, alleged
to have had longstanding marital disputes.
Knowledge’s brother, Mr Charles Matwasa
confirmed the incident to the Sunday News saying
as a family they had tried to intervene in the two’s
marital dispute but failed to restore peace as the
two would only temporarily live in harmony before
they start fighting again.
“My brother told me about his sexual problems with
his wife, where he claimed he was now impotent.
We tried everything in our power to rectify the
situation, we even tried traditional means but it
failed. The issue was also brought to the attention
of his wife’s family and they summoned them for
counselling. When I later asked my younger brother
about the situation he told me that things were now
better,” said Charles.
It is alleged that while the husband was trying to
find solutions to his personal challenges, Aquila
was seeking marital pleasure from other men. As
the couple continued fighting, the husband was
suspecting that his wife was having an affair with
another man as the wife was nagging him for
divorce.
Reports are that Knowledge allegedly saw pictures
and messages on his wife’s cellphone that proved
that his wife was enjoying a picnic in Cape Town
with another man.
“He called me at around 10pm telling me how
much he misses me, I think this was a way of him
saying goodbye to me. Around 1am, this is when
the incident took place,” said Charles.
Plans are underway to bury the couple back home.
