Karoi murder story a Daily News, MDC lie
Posted: Sunday, April 28, 2002Herald Reporter
THE Karoi woman the MDC and the Daily News claimed was beheaded by Zanu-PF supporters never existed, investigations have revealed — exposing the opposition party and newspaper's unrelenting stream of lies.
Investigations by The Herald, police and even the MDC and Daily News have shown that the murder victim, Brandina Tadyanemhandu, never existed.
The false story "broken" by The Daily News without elementary checks saw the MDC and the newspaper paying money to a man, Enos Tadyanemhandu, who claimed to be the victim’s husband. The cooked up story was published widely across the world.
Villagers and headman of the Magororo area where the supposed grisly murder was reportedly carried out, yesterday were shocked at the story.
Headman Jeke said the false story had caused a lot of anxiety in the community as well as unwarranted attention.
Sources yesterday said the Daily News reporter, Lloyd Mudiwa, had relied on information provided by the MDC treasurer in Mashonaland West, Godfrey Gumbo, who brought Enos Tadyanemhandu to the MDC offices at Harvest House on Monday. MOREPrinter friendly version
