WICKEDNESS + BIZARRE!! Maid boils employer's 3- month old baby to death over late salary payment...

A Bulawayo maid has been
arrested after she allegedly
boiled her employer’s three
months-old baby.
This was apparently in revenge
to her employer’s failure to pay
her on time. The maid, who was
identified as
Nokuthula Nyathi, of
Emakhandeni is alleged to have
boiled the infant in a container
on Wednesday last week. The
infant’s mother, Karen Dube,
collapsed when she saw her
baby in the container.
The maid was arrested a day
after the gruesome murder and
appeared before Western
Commonage magistrate, Mr
Richard Ramaboea facing
murder charges. She was
remanded in custody to 23
October.
Some residents said the maid
and her employer had a
turbulent relationship.
It is understood that the maid
usually gets paid on the first day
of every month but at the time
of the murder, the woman’s
salary was overdue by two days.
“I do not think that money was
the reason for all this. Dube did
not trust her because she has
caught the maid stealing her
belongings on several
occasions. The employer tried to
fire her but the maid resisted.
So I think that might be the
major reason behind the cruel
deed,” said the source.
It is reported that on the day in
question, Nyathi asked Dube to
give her her salary. The
employer said she did not have
the money and promised to get
it by the end of the week and
left for work thereafter.
Nyathi, however, appeared not
to have believed her employer’s
promise. She is alleged to have
taken the three-month old baby
and put it in a container and
boiled the infant on a stove.
The maid then took her
belongings and left. On her
return in the evening, Dube
found her baby still in the
container and was so shocked
that she fell unconscious. The
woman was discovered by a
neighbour lying on the floor.
An ambulance was called to the
scene while the body of the
infant was taken to a mortuary.
