A Gweru woman, Stacy Thokozani Mkhandla (34), who was arrested for stabbing her husband’s girlfriend to death, was on Monday morning denied bail by the Provincial Magistrate Beaulity Dube.
Mkhandla of 1929/2 Mkoba 14, Gweru was not asked to plead to charges of murder as defined in section 47(1)(a)(b) of the criminal law, was reminded in custody to 26th February 2024.
State counsel Christine Shoniwa told the court that Mkhandla was not a good candidate for bail as she may be vulnerable to Phiri’s family and the community.
The court heard that Mkhandla stabbed Phiri twice on the left breast, once on the left arm, once on the head near the eye to the ear and once on the back.
Phiri died as a result of the stab wounds.
A remorseful mother of two said she never intended to kill her husband’s girlfriend but had stabbed her in a moment of anger.
