Man teams up with brother’s wife to kill him after he discovered their secret love affair

Zimbabwean man has been arrested for allegedly murdering his own brother after an illicit affair with the victims wife was discovered, in a case police say involved a coordinated attack by the secret lovers. According to the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), the killing of Benjamin Masaiti, 43, occurred on December 17, 2025, in Chimanimani. His younger brother, Tonderai Masaiti, 37, has been taken into custody in connection with the murder. Police said the incident followed a dispute linked to allegations of infidelity involving the victims wife. The murder reportedly stemmed from allegations that Tonderai Masaiti was having an affair with Chipo Chirigo who was married to the victim, the police said. Investigators further alleged that the suspect did not act alone during the fatal attack. The suspect allegedly assisted his sister-in-law, Chipo Chirigo (45), in attacking the victim, the ZRP stated. Police said Chirigo is currently on the run and appealed to the public for information that could lead to her arrest. Chipo Chirigo is on the run. Anyone with information that may assist in the arrest of Chipo Chirigo should report at any nearest police station, the statement added. The case comes just a day after another suspected domestic murder was reported in Nyadzonya, Nyazura. On December 16, 2025, police arrested Jelous Musasa, 35, over the alleged killing of his wife, Monica Tabvuroona, 30. The suspect reportedly struck his wife all over the body with a log after accusing her of failing to greet him, police said. Authorities confirmed that the assault was fatal. The victim sustained severe head injuries and succumbed to the injuries, the police added. Investigations into both cases are ongoing as police continue efforts to apprehend the fugitive suspect.The post Man teams up with brothers wife to kill him after he discovered their secret love affair appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
