Former Zimbabwean national cricket player Musakanda has been arrested on charges of attempted murder following a violent altercation with his wife.
Musakanda, who has not played for Zimbabwe in nearly two years, faces serious legal consequences after the incident. National Police Spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi reported that the confrontation began when Tinodiwanashe, Musakanda's wife, hired two men to build a shelter at her vending site. Tensions rose when the workers returned to collect payment, leading to a violent clash with Musakanda.
Neighbors were alerted by screams from the couple’s home around 3 a.m. One witness described the situation, saying, “We were woken up by shouting. Mai Dewei was calling for help. When we arrived, we saw Musakanda holding a knife while his wife was trying to defend herself. She had been stabbed in the back. We immediately took her to the hospital.”
The witness also mentioned that this was not the first instance of violence between the couple, noting, “They’ve had many fights before. Musakanda even beat her with a stick once. This time, it was much worse.”
Musakanda has a history of legal troubles, including a previous charge related to a fatal car accident in 2022.
