A 19-year-old Zimbabwean girl, Nokuthaba Mpofu, from the Maphisa village in Matobo District, has been arrested for allegedly killing her own two-year-old daughter before attempting to commit suicide following a domestic dispute with her family, MyZimbabwe reports. Mpofu was alleged to have drunk a chemical substance and gave some to her little daughter, Lubelihle Majola, following a dispute with her live-in boyfriend. The child toddler reportedly died the same day while Mpofu was rushed to the United Bulawayo Hospitals where she was treated and discharged after which the police arrested her.
