A 44 year old man from Chimanimani is facing attempted murder charges after trying to burn his three daughters alive following a misunderstanding with his wife.

Police spokesperson Inspector Tavhiringwa Kakohwa told Diamond fm that David Maritso of Ngorima village  had a dispute with Monica Mawela (45) over alleged infidelity who later ran away to seek refuge at their neighbour’s house.

Maritso is alleged to have set alight their wooden cabin with his 3 daughters inside.

The girls managed to escape through the window and a few valuable items were retrieved from the house.
