An 18-year-old mother from Mkwasine has been arrested for allegedly stoning her 2-year-old son to death.
According to the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), the suspect, Maria Zimvumi, reportedly committed the act after struggling to find employment as a maid in Chiredzi Town.
In an attempt to conceal her crime, Zimvumi allegedly carried her son’s body on her back and reported to the ZRP in Chiredzi that the child had died as a result of falling from her back. Police said:
<blockquote>

This was after the suspect failed to secure employment as a maid in Chiredzi Town. In an attempt to conceal the crime, the suspect carried the victim’s body on her back and made a report at ZRP Chiredzi claiming that the victim died after falling from her back.
Police inquiries proved that the suspect had made a false report to cover up for her criminal act.
</blockquote>
The tragic case of a teen mother murdering her child often stems from a combination of high-stress situations, such as financial difficulties or relationship breakdowns. Mental health issues, including anxiety and other disorders, can exacerbate these pressures.
Social isolation, a lack of family support, and inadequate resources can further contribute to these devastating outcomes. When young mothers face overwhelming challenges without a strong support system, the risk of tragedy increases.

An 18-year-old mother named Maria Zimvumi was arrested for stoning her 2-year-old son to death in Zimbabwe. She did this because she couldn't find a job and was stressed. To cover it up, she carried her son's body and said he fell. But the police found out the truth. This tragic event shows how difficult life can be for young moms without support. Financial problems, mental health issues, and lack of help can lead to terrible actions like this one. It's important to help struggling moms so tragedies like this don't happen.

Mother (18) Allegedly Stones 2-Year-Old Son To Death

A 41-year-old woman from Norton is on the run after allegedly giving birth to a baby boy on Saturday and throwing him into a Blair toilet.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson, Commissioner Paul Nyathi, has appealed to members of the public with information about the whereabouts of the suspect, Annie Fernando, to report to the nearest police station. He said:
<blockquote>
Police in Norton are appealing for information which may lead to the arrest of Annie Fernando (41) who is being sought in connection with a case of infanticide.
The suspect allegedly gave birth to a baby boy on 23/11/24 at Malham Farm, Mhondoro and later threw the baby in a blair toilet.

Infanticide, the act of causing the death of a child within six months of birth, is a significant issue in Zimbabwe.
The country has seen numerous cases over the years, often driven by various socio-economic and psychological factors.
According to the Global Press Journal, the reasons behind these tragic acts are complex. Many women who commit infanticide suffer from mental health disorders, economic stress, and lack of social support.
For example, a woman named Tariro buried her newborn twins alive due to fear of societal judgment for having children out of wedlock.
In 2023, 13 cases of infanticide were recorded between January and March alone, with a total of 75 cases in 2022.
Experts believe that addressing the root causes, such as mental health issues, poverty, and social stigma, is crucial in preventing further cases of infanticide in Zimbabwe.

A 41-year-old woman threw her newborn baby boy into a toilet and is now running away from the police in Zimbabwe. The police are asking for help to find her. This is a type of crime called infanticide, where a child is killed within six months of being born. Many women in Zimbabwe do this because of mental health problems, money issues, and not enough support from others. In one case, a woman named Tariro buried her twins alive because she was scared of what people would say. In 2023, there were 13 cases of infanticide in just three months. Experts say it's important to address mental health, poverty, and social stigma to stop this from happening.

Woman (41) On The Run After Throwing Newborn Baby Into A Blair Toilet

Talent Priveledge Sibanda (27), from Madhuve Village, Mberengwa, was sentenced to an effective 26 months in prison for killing her newborn baby about two weeks ago.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), Sibanda was arraigned before the Zvishavane Magistrates’ Court facing infanticide charges.
Sometime in June 2023, Sibanda separated from her husband, but they later reunited in February 2024 while she was pregnant by another man.
On October 27, 2024, around 7 PM, Sibanda gave birth to a baby girl while she was alone. She then strangled the infant and buried the body in a pit in a nearby field, just a few meters from her home.
The matter came to light when Sibanda’s niece noticed that she was no longer pregnant and reported the incident to the police, leading to Sibanda’s arrest.
During the investigation, Sibanda revealed to the authorities the location where she had buried the child.
The court sentenced Sibanda to 36 months of imprisonment, but 10 months of the sentence were suspended for 5 years on the condition of good behaviour. As a result, Sibanda will serve an effective 26 months in prison.

Infanticide is the act of intentionally causing the death of an infant, typically within the first year of life and some of the reasons for infanticide in Zimbabwe include poverty and mental illness.
There have been reports of young women who kill their newly-born infants because they cannot afford to take care of them.
In some cases, where a mother is suffering from postpartum depression or other mental health issues, she may feel overwhelmed and unable to care for her child resulting in infanticide.
Postpartum depression is a mood disorder that can affect women after childbirth, and it can cause a range of symptoms, including feelings of sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion.

Woman (22) Found With Body Of Baby In Bucket

A 21-year-old woman employed as a domestic worker in Mt Pleasant, Harare, allegedly buried her newly born baby in a shallow grave in her employer’s garden.
The baby was discovered alive moments after it was buried and the woman’s employer rushed it to the hospital, reported NewZimbabwe.com.

Marondera Couple Secretly Bury Daughter (1) Along Riverbank

The body of a baby was on Saturday found in a burst sewer pipe at Lobengula Primary School in Bulawayo in a suspected case of infanticide.
The baby boy’s body, suspected to have been flushed in a toilet, popped out of a sewage pond.
It is thought that someone could have terminated a pregnancy before flushing the infant into the toilet system leading to the sewer blockage.
The body was reportedly still intact meaning the person could have flushed the baby in the morning or the previous night.
Police in Bulawayo confirmed the incident and the matter is now under investigation. Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube said:
<blockquote>I can confirm that the police are investigating a case of terminating pregnancy where on 29 May, a dead infant was discovered by residents in a sewer at Lobengula Primary School. Investigations over the matter are still in progress and awaiting post-mortem.</blockquote>
Insp Ncube appealed to members of the public who might have any information on the case to come forward. He said:
<blockquote>We are appealing to members of the public who might have information on the case or if you know someone who was pregnant but is no longer pregnant.
Please report to the nearest police station. I urge members to desist from killing innocent babies, something can be worked out than killing them.</blockquote>
