A Bulawayo woman allegedly possessed by evil spirits stabbed
herself to death before she rose from the dead and is now battling for
life at Mpilo’s intensive care unit.
The 24-year old Seventh Day Adventist Church member has been in the ICU since Wednesday last week after she stabbed herself in the stomach Binga. Her intestines were dangling outside her stomach after the stabbing.
A close family source said the woman was “possessed sometime last week while in Binga and allegedly stabbed herself in the stomach and disembowelled herself. She fell into a fire and was allegedly pronounced dead. However, after a while she mysteriously rose again and was ferried to Mpilo Central Hospital where she is being treated in the Intensive Care Unit.”
“I have heard many weird stories about this woman and the last time I heard there were attempts to cast out the demon which left her and soon after besieged her again.”
A church member who refused to be identified confirmed that the woman was possessed by a demon and that she usually assaults people when the demon attacks her.
“She has been a church member for a while and it is believed that she is possessed by a demon. At one time she assaulted people who were near her and threw herself against walls.
“Last week, I was told she had died after sustaining self-inflicted deep stomach wounds when the demons possessed her. I was very shocked a day after when a different message came saying she was not dead but critically ill and admitted at Mpilo Central Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit,” said the man.
Efforts to get a comment from Mpilo chief executive officer Dr Wedu Ndebele were fruitless as he was unreachable.
A source within the hospital, who cannot be named for professional reasons, confirmed that the woman had been admitted into the hospital’s ICU for six days but could not give further details.
The source indicated that no residential address had been given even on her hospital cards.
Matabeleland provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Siphiwe Makonese, had not come back with a response by the time of going to press as the man identified as the woman’s father had said the matter was reported to police in Binga.
