Zimbabwean Nurse Murdered
(MENAFN- The Post)
MASERU -A Zimbabwean nurse who was running a clinic in Upper Thamae was found murdered in her home yesterday.
Veronica Shavi, 67, was running the Hope Clinic for years. She moved to Lesotho from Zimbabwe some 15 years ago.
Her daughter, Miriro Shavi, had just returned from Zimbabwe when she stumbled on her mother's lifeless body on the bed.
The Police confirmed that the nurse was found strangled on her bed yesterday morning.
Miriro told thepost last night that they had been staying in Lesotho with her mother for over a decade.
“We are four in the family,” Miriro said.
“We are two sisters and two cousins,” she said, adding that they were raised by the deceased under one roof.
Her mother's car was found dumped somewhere in Qoaling, and Miriro believes t those who are behind the killing will be identified.
Police confirmed the unfortunate incident to this publication last night.
Police deputy spokesperson, Inspector 'Mareabetsoe Mofoka, said nurse Shavi“had marks of being strangled around her neck”.
“Her motionless body was found wrapped on her bed,” Insp Mofoka said.
Inspector Mofoka said they are investigating the murder.
She said the deceased's daughter had last talked to her mother the previous night at around 8pm as she left Zimbabwe for Lesotho.
When she arrived at their residential home in Upper Thamae, she found that the gate was still locked and that raised serious concerns because her mother would often wake up early in the morning.
She then called a man who usually assists them with some family errands to help her break the gate.
Police said the two found out that the house was also locked.
She said they broke the door too only to be met with items that were scattered all over the room.
They later stumbled over the body of the deceased.
Her valuable items such as mobile phones, laptop and undisclosed amount of money were taken away.
She said her silver BMW car was also missing but was later found abandoned near the police station in Qoaling.
Insp Mofoka said no arrests have been made so far but they are working around the clock to bring the perpetrators to book.
The death of Shavi has sent shockwaves to the people of Upper Thamae where she was regarded as a valuable member of her community.
