Ghost accuses ex boyfriend from Marange of murder

A man from Marange has appeared before Chief Mutasa's community court accused of killing his live-in girlfriend and misleading her family into believing she had abandoned him. John Chisikana is facing allegations that he orchestrated the mysterious disappearance and death of his lover, whom he had reported missing several years ago. He has consistently denied the claims.

The matter resurfaced after relatives of the deceased alleged that her restless spirit was tormenting family members and accusing Chisikana of murder, claims reportedly supported by traditional healers. Testifying before the court, Chisikana recounted the last day he said he saw the woman alive. He told the court that he left for work at around 7 am while she was asleep and returned during his tea break at about 10 am to find the house empty.  Follow & Share Our WhatsApp Channel

"We were still planning our future. I had not paid roora yet," he said, adding that they had been living together for only two months at the time of her disappearance. Chisikana said he immediately informed the woman's relatives about her disappearance, and they advised him to continue searching for her.

However, years later, the woman's family began accusing him of murder. "After four years, people from her family came to me saying her spirit was manifesting through one of their relatives, accusing me of killing her," Chisikana told the court.

Chief Mutasa expressed concern over inconsistencies surrounding the woman's disappearance and questioned Chisikana's actions. "A woman leaves your house and is never seen again. Years later, her spirit begins to speak. These are not matters this court can ignore," said the chief.
