Jilted Reverend pour sulphuric acid on his estranged lover

A Reverend, Rosbon Munamba, who could not stomach being dumped allegedly poured sulphuric acid on his estranged lover Rudo Bakasa aged 38 who ended up suffering 50% degree burns.

Rudo is currently battling for dear life at Parirenyatwa Hospital in Harare.

Rosbon Munamba who is married to another woman wanted to kill Bakasa as he tried to finish her off in hospital during a visiting hour.

"On the day in question he attacked me, he had phoned the previous night saying that he wanted to see me," said Bakasa.

"I told him that I would not be around since I wanted to attend a funeral in my rural home in Goromonzi.

"He asked me if I was really serious about ending the relationship and I insisted that it was over. He again started with the threats telling me that no one dumps him," said Bakasa.

"So as we were walking towards my house, he then produced a container from his bag and tried forcing me to drink the liquid.

"Before I could even notice what was in the container he held my mouth and tried to force me to open it, he almost strangled me and because he missed my mouth part of the liquid got into my ear and the other side of the face.

"He then started pouring the rest of the liquid all over my body and I was in so much pain, I started screaming for help and immediately I was undressed I guess because of the effect of the acid."
