Man killed wife in Broxburn weeks after abuse case collapsed
Man killed wife weeks after abuse case collapsed 8 minutes ago Share Save Share Save Police Scotland Veronica Chinyanga begged for her life as her husband turned on her in their back garden in Broxburn An NHS worker who murdered his wife just weeks after an earlier domestic abuse case collapsed has been jailed for a minimum of 18 years. Kasikai Chinyanga, 47, killed Veronica Chinyanga as she begged for her life in the back garden of their home in Broxburn, West Lothian, on 9 June last year. The 42 year-old mother had predicted Chinyanga may not forgive her for previously reporting him to police. Ms Chinyanga was repeatedly struck with a pronged garden tool - in front of neighbours - before being stabbed in the stomach with a knife. Chinyanga returned to the High Court in Glasgow on Tuesday having earlier admitted to the murder. Jailing him for life, Lord Mulholland said the killing had been "cowardly, savage and brutal". The couple had moved to Scotland from Zimbabwe in 2008. They had a teenage son together and Veronica's 20 year-old daughter also lived with them. Chinyanga worked in finance for the NHS. He was training to be an accountant at the time. His wife - born Chitsidzo, but known as Veronica - was involved in a project to help international health workers adapt to a new country. Prosecutor Wojciech Jajdelski told how there had been "a history of domestic incidents" between the couple. He added: "Despite some being reported, criminal proceedings were not concluded due to an apparent reluctance on the part of Veronica Chinyanga to attend court. "In particular, her second failure to attend as a witness in a summary trial on 27 May 2024 - two weeks before (the murder) - lead to discontinuation of the case." The charge had included a claim that Chinyanga had been aggressive with his wife, struggled with her and pushed her in early 2023. The court heard how on 2 June 2024, Ms Chinyanga had texted one of her sisters to say she believed her husband "was not going to forgive her" and was "bitter" at her calling police in connection with her previous allegations.
