Happiness Chimbhangu, the woman accused of brutally murdering her husband and two children, has arrived at Bulawayo’s West Commonage Magistrate Court, where she is expected to be formally charged and placed on remand.
The 34-year-old suspect allegedly committed the gruesome killings in the early hours of January 30, 2025, at their home in Cowdray Park.
According to preliminary reports, Chimbhangu had expressed suicidal thoughts on multiple occasions just a day before the tragic incident.
Police believe that the alleged crime was premeditated, with early investigations indicating that she may have been struggling with emotional distress.
