Woman kills maid caught in bed with husband

Sarudzai Chitevere

A schoolteacher reportedly fatally assaulted her teenage maid after catching her being intimate with her husband on their matrimonial bed and hid the body for 12 days.
The body was later found hanging from a tree with some body parts missing. Missing from the maid’s body were feet, which were chopped from the ankles, an ear, breast and private parts.
Itai Mutami (35) — a teacher at Makanda Primary School — assaulted Sarudzai Chitevere (17) after she caught her being intimate with her husband Patrick Sandati (36) in the couple’s bedroom.
Mutami then reportedly connived with her husband to conceal Chitevere’s body for 12 days. According to Oripah Mariridza of Negombwe Village under Chief Ruzane who is related to Chitevere, Mutami hired the teenager to care for her unemployed husband and children.
After working for one-and-a-half years, the maid later fell in love with Sandati. Word about the pair’s relationship reached the primary school teacher who then set a trap and found them in bed on the fateful day.


“They (Sandati and his wife) came here on April 23 reporting that Chitevere went missing following a misunderstanding. They came back two days later with her clothes, but I refused to accept them,” narrated Mrs Mariridza.
She said Chitevere’s body was later found hanging from “a small tree” on May 2.
