A mother from Masvingo, Zimbabwe, has been arrested after the tragic deaths of her two young children, which police believe were linked to a domestic dispute.
The heart-wrenching incident took place on January 8, 2025, in the Section 4 area of Triangle.
Blessing Chiromonyo, 25, reportedly took her two daughters, aged three and seven, to a nearby water canal.
According to police, she jumped into the canal with her children in an apparent attempt to end their lives together.
Tragically, the strong currents carried the children away, and they drowned, while Chiromonyo managed to escape.
Investigations suggest the incident was triggered by a confrontation between Chiromonyo and her husband.
The young mother allegedly discovered that her husband had been unfaithful, sparking a heated argument. Neighbors reported hearing loud voices before the situation escalated to the heartbreaking tragedy.
