A Shurugwi man and his girlfriend are battling for life after the man attempted to kill his lover by stabbing her several times with a knife before attempting to commit suicide by drinking poison.
The man, Hardness Chisamba (36) was accusing his girlfriend of having an affair with another man.
Chisamba vainly tried to kill himself and his girlfriend, Ms Chenai Rambanapasi (29), and the two were rushed to Shurugwi District Hospital where they are admitted.
Midlands police spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko confirmed the incident, which occurred last week at Danga Village under Chief Ndanga.
He said the condition of Chisamba and his girlfriend was said to be critical.

Chisamba was accusing his girlfriend, Ms Chenai Rambanapasi of having an affair with another man. He then attempted to commit suicide by drinking some poison.
