18-Year-Old Mother Throws Baby Into Dam

7 months agoTue, 13 Aug 2024 06:45:24 GMT

An 18-year-old woman from Retreat Farm in Waterfalls, Harare, was brought before the courts for remand over the weekend after she allegedly tried to kill her 18-month-old baby by drowning him in a dam.

As reported by The Herald, the woman was arrested after a passer-by jumped into Retreat Dam to rescue the toddler.

The accused person, Junior Mafura (18) from Retreat Farm appeared before Harare magistrate, Estere Chivasa charged with attempted murder.

Mafura was remanded in custody to August 16 for her bail application.

Prosecutor Mercy Masamvi alleged that on Friday, around 8 AM, Simbarashe Magada was walking home using a path alongside Retreat Dam when he saw the defendant, Mafura, walking away from the dam.

Magada became suspicious and went to where Mafura had been. Upon reaching the dam bank, he saw a baby floating in the water and immediately jumped in and rescued the child.

Magada then followed Mafura, who was now running away and caught up with her at Mutamba Shops, where he took her to the police station.

The baby was taken to the hospital and medically examined.

this lady suffers from extreme depression and mental illness...poverty level continues to rise and these are the results..no matter how hard life is at the moment..trying to get rid of your own child is just unexplainable...

most of these kids, because of poverty some were made to drop out of school. Just sitting at home doing nothing, they think of getting married. Little did they know that what their parents failed to do for them, themselves will face the same thing but in a much harsher way. Cz vapfanha vemazuvano vanongoda kunyika chete but Havakwanise kuchengeta. Ivo pachavo havotokwanise kuzvitengera n.d.u.w.e ko kuzoti mukadzi nemwana
