A man has surrendered himself to the police after stabbing his wife.
Ricks Kameza, 30, stabbed his 25-year-old wife, Brenda Kapyola, multiple times, leaving her badly injured. The incident happened on September 19, 2018, in Sitima,T/A Mlumbe,
Malawi.
The couple have been married for almost 5 years and blessed with a daughter named Sandra Kameza, 4.
The husband works in South Africa and while there, he got news that his wife was engaging in extramarital affairs. He reportedly returned home to Malawi in June 2018 to resolve the issue.
The matter was brought before marriage councillors to resolve but failed because a knife was found hidden under the pillow of the wife. When asked about the knife, the man said it will be used on his wife. This destroyed any chances of reconciliation.
The husband is reported to have left their home but came days later to collect his passport and beg for forgiveness which the wife rejected.
On September 16, 2018, the wife lodged a complaint at Thondwe Police with victim support unit. Two days later, the matter was resolved in favour of the wife who opted for divorce but the husband refused.
Then on Wednesday, September 19, the husband came home at night and climbed into the compound through the fence. He broke one of the windows to gain entrance into the house where he found his wife and hacked her with a knife.
Neighbours heard the wife's screams and came to her rescue while the husband ran away. He later surrendered himself to the police.
The woman is in a critical condition in a hospital while the suspect is in custody
