In a callous act that left the community in a state of shock, a local man presented her own daughter for ritual killing in exchange for cash.
However, the man Tapiwa Vhutani (27) of Chikunguwo Village under Chief Neshangwe in Chivhu was arrested by police detectives as he attempted to present her daughter to a local businessman in exchange for $ 12 000.
The matter was heard before Chivhu Magistrate, Winfilda Tiyatara last week.
The court heard that on March 27 this year, Vhutani contacted Obert Juru, a local businessman and asked him whether he wanted human body parts to perform some rituals. He then kept on pestering Juru through text messages and the latter informed the police about the issue. Vhutani also told Juru he was desperate for cash.
Incensed by Vhutani’s persistent calls, Juru reported the matter to the police.
