The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) have confirmed the arrest of 35‑year‑old Geviza Fadzai in connection with the murder of her three‑year‑old daughter. The incident occurred on 25 November 2025 at Village 2, Fair Range, Mkwasine.
According to police, Fadzai allegedly stabbed the child in the neck with a knife and then told a neighbour that the girl had been attacked by four unknown assailants. She later reported to the village head that the child had died of natural causes. The deception was uncovered during burial preparations when a deep cut was observed on the victim’s neck, prompting a report to ZRP Mkwasine.
Investigations revealed that Fadzai is suspected of killing her daughter to facilitate a marriage with a new boyfriend, who was reportedly unwilling to commit while she had a child. The victim’s body was taken to Chiredzi General Hospital for a post‑mortem examination.
The suspect is in custody, and the police is treating this as a serious matter while investigations are ongoing.
The arrest highlights a disturbing trend of violence against children in the area, and authorities have urged anyone with further information to come forward.
