The Mukwana family members, Peter (74), Brighton (32), Alexander (26), Moreblessing Paradza, and Gilbert (41) and a relative Sandra Murendo (26), teamed up and went to Agnes Paradza’s house in Unity M, Seke in Chitungwiza and forcibly kicked out of her house.
Four of the six accused pleaded guilty to the charges of contravening section 10 (2) of the Deceased Person’s Family Maintenance Act, while two of them denied the charges when they appeared before Chitungwiza magistrate Ms Olivia Mariga.
However, they were convicted after a full trial since they failed to prove the State wrong.
State led by Mr Henry Muringwa told the court that on September 23 this year, the six secretly convened a meeting to evacuate Agnes’ from her place accusing her of being promiscuous.
They agreed that it was high time that Agnes was to leave her matrimonial home after the death of her husband in 2007.
The six argued that it was uncustomary for her to sleep with another man in their relative’s house and also said that she concealed the pregnancy until the time she gave birth.
They gathered at around 10pm and took her property out of the house before driving to Madziva Mine, where they dumped the goods at her parent’s place.
