A 16-year-old Epworth “prophetess” has appeared in court on a murder charge after she allegedly killed a toddler during a “healing” session.

The “prophetess”, who cannot be named for ethical reasons, was accompanied by her mother when she appeared before Harare magistrate Vongai Muchuchuti-Guwuriro.

It is alleged that on February 25, the “prophetess” gave the toddler a mixture of milk, cooking oil, salt and lemon to drink during the “healing session”.

The toddler lost consciousness and died.

The “prophetess” was released into the custody of her mother and remanded to April 9 pending indictment to the High Court for trial. 🔺
