Jaison Muvevi, a former police officer turned gold miner, has revealed shocking details about his personal life while in solitary confinement.
Muvevi, who is facing four counts of murder and one of attempted murder for incidents that occurred between November 2022 and January 2023, confessed to being secretly married to three women, none of whom were aware of each other.
He explained that he customarily married all three women and fulfilled his traditional obligations for each.
Muvevi maintained three separate households: one in Zvishavane with a wife and three children, another in Kadoma with a wife and two children, and a third in Harare with a wife and two children.
Despite the logistical challenges, he claimed that his work as a gold miner provided the perfect cover for his absences, allowing him to keep the women unaware of one another’s existence. With a chuckle, he recounted how he successfully balanced his three lives without arousing suspicion.
One of Muvevi’s wives, who met him in 2016 after he had retired from the police force, described him as a calm and non-violent man. She noted that in 2022, he abruptly left their home, which she dismissed at the time as part of his work routine.
She has continued to attend his court sessions and visit him in prison, although it remains unclear how the wives feel about his revelations.
Muvevi’s criminal charges stem from alleged killings linked to his activities as a gold miner, which have led to his detention and mental health evaluation.
Despite the legal battles, he claims that his wives and brothers still support him with visits to the prison. His confession about his triple life adds a deeply personal twist to a case already filled with controversy and tragedy.
