  Man stabs and kills wife's sister in revenge
  A JILTED Murewa man stabbed his wife's 15-year-old sister in full view of his in-laws and local villagers after they refused him permission to marry her.
  Simbarashe Munakamwe, from Suka Village under Chief Mangwende, stabbed and killed Chido Kurwakumire after the latter's parents objected to his move to divorce his first wife and marry the teenager.
  Justice Chitapi said there were extenuating circumstances that led to Munakamwe to act in the manner he did, considering that the teenager's mother had for a long time been belittling and insulting his son-in-law over unpaid lobola.
  The girl's father, Peter Musekiwa, and a neighbour, Munyaradzi Muzanenhamo, rushed to the scene and restrained Munakamwe from further stabbing her.
  In his warned and cautioned statement to police, Munakamwe was quoted to have said: "I admit that I killed Chipo Kurwakumire by continuously stabbing her with a knife. I left my home in Harare with this knife with the intention of killing her. I was in love with this girl but her parents did not want us to marry and because of that I chose to kill her and later kill myself."
