Housemaid Kills Baby By Stuffing Him In Drawer

A 22-year-old Zimbabwean housemaid, Violet Moyo, was arrested for the murder a 10-month-old baby, Ethan Phiri.

Irritated by the baby’s incessant cries, she allegedly wrapped him in a blanket, put him in a drawer, closed it, and went to watch television. When she went to check on him three hours later, he was dead.

She admitted causing the baby’s death but claims she was “possessed by an evil spirit.”

Her lawyer Prayer Muzvuzvu told the Bulawayo High Court: “My client’s intention was not to kill the baby. She intended to stifle the baby’s cries so that it wouldn’t attract the attention of neighbours fearing that they would report her to her employers”.

A neighbour testified on Tuesday that Moyo ran to her house “in panic mode” to tell her the baby had fallen off the bed.
