Man beds another woman at wife's funeral

A GWERU man left Chiredzi people shocked when he was caught sleeping with another woman during his wife's funeral service.

Circumstances are that the accused Luscious Chiturumani stayed in Gweru with his wife Sibongile Mthetwa who allegedly died after a short illness.

Since Chiturumani had not fully paid the bride price, it was then decided that the deceased be buried in Chiredzi, her parents' rural community.

On arrival the deceased's husband was accompanied by a woman whom he claimed to be his sister and he was accorded full respect as a son-in-law of the family.

The two were then given a courtesy room for them to rest as a family and they then retired to bed earlier than other people as visitors. More people were expected to join them in the room but none did and they took advantage of the situation and woke up to some early morning sex.

Claims are that just before 6am someone smoking outside leaning on the window heard some funny sounds emanating from the room, which the two were resting in.

The unidentified man then decided to call others to see what was happening inside. Unfortunately the doors had no locks and the two were found busy at it.

A close relative of the deceased identified as Grace Mtethwa confirmed the incident saying that Chiturumani had brought disgrace to their family as the case will remain the talk of town.

"It is very much disgusting what my uncle has done. Humbwa chaiwo.

"He has proven to be a dog and lacking any sense of morality. How can someone come all the way from Gweru to have s*x here aaah? I had never seen anything like such in my entire life.
