Mrs. Mkpume further explained that while they butchered her husband with axe and matchete, the couple that invited them to make peace – ran inside and locked the gate leaving her and her husband to the mercy of the boys.
They reportedly cut off one of his arms and butchered him while the wife shouted for help but no one came to their aid.
The young widow said that her husband died shortly after he was rushed to hospital having run into the bush with one hand and several matchete cuts.
The mother of the deceased, Mrs Grace Mkpume, could not hold back her tears as she called for justice to be done to all those involved in her only son’s death.
