A 34-year-old woman, Happiness Chimbangu, from Bulawayo allegedly killed her husband, Edwin (35), and their two children, Promise (4) and Prudence (7 months), in a violent incident.
The police found the bodies with multiple stab wounds. A metal digger with bloodstains was recovered near the door.
According to the police, Happiness had told her mother earlier that day that she was struggling with poverty and wanted to commit suicide. Her mother and some church members tried to counsel her, but later that night, Happiness called a church member to say she had killed her family.
The police are urging the public not to take the law into their own hands.
