OpenPastor Shoots Son, Mistaking Him For Intruder At Bulawayo Home
1 month agoFri, 21 Mar 2025 23:01:58 GMT
The founder and leader of River of Life International Church, 57-year-old Bothwell Phiri, is facing attempted murder charges after he allegedly shot his son, Jordan, mistaking him for an intruder at their Kumalo suburb home in Bulawayo early Monday morning.
According to Assistant Inspector Nomalanga Msebele, the acting spokesperson for the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) in Bulawayo, Jordan, 29, had returned home late from their plot in Esigodini.
Finding the door locked, he tried to enter the house through a window. Said Msebele:
He opened a window and as he attempted to gain entry, he was shot in the groin by the accused person. When the accused realised it was his son, he rushed him to UBH for treatment.
Msebele said Phiri told the police he shot his son, mistaking him for an intruder. However, she confirmed that the son is currently in stable condition. Said Msebele:
This was an unfortunate incident. The accused person was interviewed and told police he mistakenly shot his son as he thought he was an intruder.
The firearm was checked and police confirmed that he is a licensed holder of the firearm.
She added that investigations into the incident are still ongoing, and the matter will be brought before the court in due course.

This reminds of Michael Banana,in the late 80s he killed his rival by firing through the french door and said the deceased was an intruder and he said he thought he was armed.
The police even though they were less corrupt those days ,they tried to sweep it under the carpet. The deceased's family was also loaded with money and insisted on an inquiry and a proper investigation was order which eventually led the murder conviction of Michael.

@Patriot,Yah it's true, it's similar to the Oscar Pistorius situation,you have to give warning otherwise you may shoot your Loved ones.They must take away his gun license,it's a disgrace, poor training.

Mfana akauya akadhakwa apa agara achitonetsa hake, mdhara aramba kuvhura door , mfana ndokupinda zveginde. Mdhara nehasha ndokuuiridza. Quoting Abraham in the wilderness,he saw it fit to sacrifice his son. Unfortunately realising the laws of the land tries to buy his son's silence,, surely he won paying him. But the offering and thith has been misused🚔

Dai iri police malawyers for human rights, NGOs and religious pyramid schemes makaita ruzha. Even journalists such as Hopewell Chin'ono dai vakataurisa. That Pastor is guilty haana kuita adhere to the principles governing the use of firearms. Anyway the judiciary is corrupt to the core he will be acquitted of the charges.
