A fire gutted former VP Joice Mujuru's Alamein Farm in Beatrice yesterday torching poultry houses and leaving 32,000 chicks dead.
The fire, alleged to have been caused by a fault in the electrical system at the farm, is the third to ravage Mujuru family properties in a space of four years.
In August 2011, the former VP husband, retired general Solomon Mujuru, died in an inferno at the same farm in circumstances that many though were suspicious.
An inquest was conducted at the family's behest where after the coroner investigating the death concluded he had died of smoke inhalation following the fire which was said to have been started by a candle.
In September last year, a Mujuru homestead at Tarisa Farm in Ruwa was also gutted by fire, destroying a nine-roomed thatched house and at least one other outhouse.
The latest fire brings its own set of suspicions coming at a time the former VP has met with brutal political fortunes.
