New details have emerged in the tragic murder-suicide involving Martin Muduva and his wife Lyliosa Chirara. The wife, who allegedly killed her husband with an axe before taking her own life, left behind a suicide note that sheds light on the couple’s deeply troubled marriage.

The note, obtained by local media, reportedly reveals that the couple had not been intimate since 2022. This revelation adds a layer of marital strain to the already shocking incident that has gripped the community.

A close friend of the late Muduva described the bedroom where the attack occurred as resembling an “abattoir,” highlighting the gruesome nature of the crime. The friend, who was among the first to arrive at the scene, expressed shock and disbelief at the level of violence.

The incident has sparked conversations about domestic disputes and mental health support in Zimbabwe. Authorities have not yet released an official statement regarding the ongoing investigation, but the suicide note is expected to be a key piece of evidence in understanding the motive behind the tragedy.

Community leaders have urged families to seek counseling and mediation to prevent such extreme outcomes. The case serves as a grim reminder of the hidden struggles that can exist behind closed doors.
