Two Dotito men are assisting police with investigations following the death of their mother whom they took turns to assault.
Aleck Chandoza (40) and Edison Chandoza (39) allegedly bashed their mother to death with logs.
Mashonaland Central province police spokesperson Inspector Milton Mundembe confirmed the case.
Allegations are that the duo pounced on their mother Midrone Manuwere (84) on February 26 and the mother had visited her daughter Tawanda Chandoza (36) at Tsayi village in Dotito.
Armed with logs they fatally struck their mother accusing her of bewitching them.
The suspects stopped assaulting their mother after fellow villagers came to the scene.
Villagers tried to render first aid to Manuwere but it could not help.
Police warned people to avoid violence and seek counselling when ever they have disputes.

Eight Sobukhazi High School learners in Bulawayo were on Friday raided by police at a hideout in Entumbane suburb, with some escaping through the window as law enforcement agents approached.
The eight – four girls and four boys – are alleged to have skipped school which is situated at Mzilikazi suburb, and camped at a house where one of them lives with his mother who was away at work. It is not clear what they were doing in the house. Concerned residents, who saw the learners trooping into the house during school hours, tipped off police at Entumbane Police Station who attended the scene, but six of the learners escaped through a window when they saw the police officers, with the two remaining girls later exposing their counterparts.
