A Mukumbura man allegedly axed his 68-year-old father to death after accusing him of killing his mother through witchcraft.

Acting Mashonaland Central provincial police spokesman Assistant Inspector Petros Masikati confirmed the incident which took place on the evening of last Wednesday.

Asst Insp Masikati said Noel Tswipa (30) allegedly trailed his father, Mr Edson Tswipa, before committing the heinous crime.

“Information at hand is that on May 9, around 6pm, the accused followed his father to his sister’s house where he had paid a visit.

“However, before the father could enter the house, Noel struck him twice in the head with an axe, accusing him of bewitching his mother who died on April 18.”

Mr Tswipa’s sister, Mrs Paradzai Chigango, who was inside the house at the time, saw Noel fleeing after she went outside to investigate.

Mr Tswipa died from the injuries he sustained.

Asst Insp Masikati said Noel was arrested  the following day. 

He urged members of the public to consult police and local leaders when family disputes arise.
