Medio Kashiri is one of the three people recently found dead at Bata Farm in Bindura. His wife died two days after his death, reportedly after experiencing a heart attack.
Petros Mwale and Antony Murombo Ndawana were the other two people found dead after they had drunk a concoction prepared by the traditional healers.
On Friday The Herald heard that the wife to Medio Kashiri died two days later with some in Rugare saying she died the night before her husband was buried.
According to neighbours, Kashiri’s wife was buried at Glen Forest to the north of Harare while her husband was buried at his rural home. One of the neighbours was quoted as saying:
<blockquote>We heard she complained of heartache. Akati ndabayiwa pamoyo and died that night before the burial of her husband.
We also heard her body was taken back to Harare for burial at Glen Forest where their children had bought graves for the couple.</blockquote>
The sister to Kashiri said the family spokesperson had travelled to the rural areas and he was the only one who was in a position to speak about the matter. She said:
<blockquote>I am sorry I cannot entertain your questions. We are still mourning. As you can see my mother is still mourning and cannot talk to you.
Our elder brother is the family spokesperson and he is not around. He is using a UK number and he will get back to you when he comes back.</blockquote>
Traditional healer Isaac Biningu (37) was arrested and appeared in court facing charges of murder and escaping from lawful custody.
He appeared in court on a stretcher bed due to injuries sustained after jumping from a moving police vehicle in his alleged bid to flee.
Biningu was remanded in custody to 27 May.

Wife Of Businessman Poisoned & Strangled By Traditional Healers Dies

Villagers at Bata Farm in Bimdura are now living in fear after three bodies were found dumped in their neighbourhood.
One of the villagers stumbled upon the three bodies on 25 April near a dam with their vehicle, a silver Honda CRV parked close by.
The bodies were near a bus stop along the Bindura-Mt Darwin Road and about half a kilometre from Umfurudzi toll gate.
The community has since agreed on a 6 PM curfew in the aftermath of the incident.
Tinashe Kabaira told The Herald that he left home on Sunday at around 4 AM with his cattle drawn scotch cart to water his garden as per his daily routine. He said:
<blockquote>When I reached the dam I saw a man sleeping and I called out but there was no response. I concluded that he was drunk but when I went closer I discovered that he was not breathing.
I immediately went to [Stephen] Chari’s [a member of the neighbourhood watch committee] homestead and we went back to the scene where we discovered two more bodies.
This event has unsettled this whole community. We never expected to witness something this sinister. Pictures of this event continue to haunt us and constantly we are reminded of this through social media.
This dam provides water for gardening, livestock and laundry but after this event people stopped coming to the dam.</blockquote>
Another villager, Mary Chinakidzwa believes the three men were murdered somewhere and the assailants then dumped the bodies near the dam. She said:
<blockquote>It looks like these three people were not killed at this dam. The bodies were only dumped here. The crime scene was not disturbed and does not indicate a struggle or dragging of bodies.</blockquote>
Chief Mutumba said after the police complete their investigation there is a need to cleanse the area to get rid of avenging spirits that may cause problems in the area.
A suspect was arrested in Dotito, Mashonaland Central, on Thursday in connection with the death of three men.
Reports claim the suspect Isaac Diningo (45), is believed to be a n’anga (traditional healer) whom the deceased had earlier consulted.
He reportedly gave the three men a concoction after the men allegedly consulted him seeking assistance to boost their fledgeling business.
The men are believed to have been carrying huge sums of cash and it is thought the n’anga desired their money and he killed them before dumping the bodies at the farm.
Two of the dead men have been identified as Medio Kashiri (52) and Anthony Ndawana also aged 52.

Villagers Impose 6PM Curfew After 3 Bodies Are Found Near Dam

A traditional healer has been arrested in Dotito, Mashonaland Central Province, in connection with the death of three men whose bodies were found near a dam at Bata Farm, Bindura, last Sunday.
The Herald reported a source as saying the men had earlier consulted the traditional healer (n’anga) seeking assistance to boost their fledgeling business before their untimely death. The source is quoted as saying:
<blockquote>Police picked up a traditional healer, Isaac Diningo (45) in connection with the death of the three men. He is a n’anga from Madziva.
He was arrested on Thursday, April 29 in Chishoko village, under Chief Dotito in Mt Darwin.
He led police to where he was keeping the concoction he gave to the three men. On the way, the n’anga attempted to flee using his motorbike but police managed to apprehend him.
It is believed he had an accomplice when he allegedly fed the men with an unknown concoction. His accomplice is on the run.
It is said they had a lot of money and they wanted some charms to help them in boosting their business. It is not clear how much these men were carrying.
Maybe the n’anga desired the cash these men had and decided to kill them before dumping the bodies at the farm.</blockquote>
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi on Friday said investigations into the matter were ongoing.
The three bodies were discovered on 25 April near a dam with their vehicle, a silver Honda CRV parked close by.
They were near a bus stop along the Bindura-Mt Darwin Road and about half a kilometre from Umfurudzi toll gate.
Two of the dead men have been identified as Medio Kashiri (52) and Anthony Ndawana also aged 52.
