3 brothers die mysteriously, family suspects witchcraft

Three brothers from a family in Hurungwe died within two days after complaining of severe headaches and vomiting profusely, while their sister survived after showing the same symptoms.
The first to die on Monday was Ramsey Mereki (8) who complained of a splitting headache and later started vomiting and frothing at the mouth.
His brother MacDonnely (13), started experiencing similar symptoms at around 9am on Tuesday and died about eight hours later.
The other brother Clive (19) and sister MacLean (16) also started complaining of the same symptoms and were taken to Chidamoyo Hospital.
The two were tested for malaria and food poisoning and the results were negative.
The children's mother Ms Lindiwe Magaya was the first to vomit and complain of a headache, but her condition did not warrant medical attention.
Narrating the tragedy, the brothers' father Mr Two Mereki said the loss of his children was still a mystery which will take him time to understand.
The family initially thought that the brothers had died from food poisoning, but the suspicion was dismissed at the hospital after the tests proved negative.
Mr Mereki's twin brother, One, said the family heavily suspected witchcraft to be the cause of death.
