Police in Mashonaland East have arrested Memory Choga (41) of Jeche Primary School, Sadza, after she allegedly murdered her husband Douglas Jeche (45), a teacher at the school, following a misunderstanding over money.
It is alleged that the man had transferred his salary from his bank account to his EcoCash wallet, without his wife’s knowledge.
Choga only got to know about the issue when she failed to withdraw money from her husband’s account.
This reportedly did not go well with her and upon her return home, she assaulted her husband with a log, injuring him in the process. The man subsequently succumbed to the injuries.
National police spokesperson, Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident.
“On July 19, 2024, Memory Choga (41) was arrested in connection with a case of murder which occurred at Jeche Primary School, Sadza, in which her husband Douglas Choga (45) died,” he said.
“The suspect indiscriminately
assaulted the victim with a log following a misunderstanding after the husband had transferred his monthly salary from his bank account into his EcoCash account.
“The husband sustained multiple wounds all over the body and he succumbed to the injuries.”
