26-year-old Mother ‘slashes her newborn’s throat after “weird” voices convinced her the infant was a devil’

A 26-year-old woman, Sandra Mpembe has been sentenced to two years after she slit her daughter’s throat in Gweru area of Zimbabwe leaving her community members in shock.
While appearing before Gweru magistrate Musaiona Shotgame facing charges of infanticide, she pleaded guilty and in her defense told the court that certain forces drove her into committing the horrific act.
“Your worship I regret what I did. I could not control myself. I believe that I was under a spell. A certain voice kept telling me that I should kill my daughter because her blood was needed. I only got back to my normal senses after committing the act,” she said.
B-metro reported that the state, prosecutor Andrew Marimo told the court that on April 27 last year at around 6 am the accused gave birth to a baby girl while she was alone at her homestead. She then used an unknown object to cut the neck of the baby who then died.
The accused person left the body of the child on the ground in her yard. The matter was discovered by two unknown female adults passing through the accused person’s homestead and found the accused person naked with blood on her body.
