A man of God and the General Overseer of a Zimbabwean church, Pastor Madaristo Ranch, has been arrested after he beheaded his pregnant wife, Pamela Muzondi, with a kitchen knife and hiding the corpse in a dish in the bedroom.
After that, he calmly went to his church, Living Word Ministries, and conducted the service before fleeing towards the Mozambican border and was arrested before he could skip into the neighbouring country.
The body of Muzondi was discovered by relatives five days after her husband murdered her, suspecting ritualistic tendencies because her eyes and heart were missing while her stomach was also cut open and the fetus removed.
A relative told a UK based private newspaper:
“She was killed on Sunday and we only discovered her on Friday morning.” The deceased left behind a 3-year-old child.
