A Zimbabwean nanny was jailed for 22 years for the murder of a 10-month-old baby she stuffed into a drawer "for crying too much" before she settled down to watch TV.
Violet Moyo, 22, was sentenced on Thursday after being found guilty of murder over what the judge said was a "very cruel and brutal" death, the state-run Chronicle newspaper reported.
Moyo, from Zimbabwe's second city of Bulawayo, was left in charge of the baby boy while the parents went to work and had fed him and put him to bed.
But the child woke up after five hours and started crying, the prosecution said.
Moyo tried in vain to calm the boy and in frustration she wrapped him in a blanket, stuffed him in a linen drawer and shut it while she went to watch a film on television.
She went to check on the child after three hours and found he was dead, the newspaper said Friday.
High court judge Lawrence Kamocha described the baby's death as "very cruel and brutal".
"Despite the baby's distressed cry, you chose to ignore him and went to the lounge to watch a television movie which is quite clear you wanted to kill him," Kamocha said.culled
Wickedness and cruelty beyond belief.
She deserves a murder sentence instead.
ReplyDelete22 years in jail makes her useless. She can't do anything again in her life. She has lost it. That is more excruciating than swift death.
DeleteWhy are some people heartless for goodness sake?! May she never experience motherhood. Amen. *Angry*
DeletePoor child. May his soul rest in peace.
You mean death sentence.....happy new month dear
DeleteThis girl na correct bastard. She should be sentenced to 6 consecutive life sentences. What am I saying sef, 10 consecutive death by firing squad would be just fine.. Say what?
Delete22 years is small na. The Lawyers should appeal so she will sentenced to Death. Haba this is not fair to Me, The Parents of the child and the Dead Baby. Labour pain no be beans oo. The 9 Months course. Haba
DeleteShe should be jailed for life with the hardest labor.

We have stopped living with humans since 1910. You have to be the devil himself to commit such an act. May she never find peace!!
DeleteYou mean the baby slept for 5 good hours before waking up?
DeleteWasn't that enough time for her to have watched whatever she wanted?
Wickedness in high places. You left a crying baby for 3 hours in a drawer? Lord have mercy!
She deserves a more severe sentence for this act of wickedness
Height of all wickedness!! Jesus...pls remind me,was just not in Zimbabwe the other maid was beating that little girl

ReplyDeleteThis is the height of wickedness. She was paid to watch over the baby not to watch tv, she should be sentenced to life imprisonment.

ReplyDeleteE yah. God will hear ur cry. It is well dear.
DeleteAnony 9:40, oga dicha nma o (all will be well) be strong. E-bear hugs!
DeleteThis is so sad n where all these cruel nannies de spring from all of a sudden? Pls parents of young children be more vigilant n prayerful and those abroad dont hire nannies from southern/eastern africa as they tend to be very heartless. RIP kid.
ReplyDeleteI have decided, wen I give birth, I'm so taking time off work. I can't deal abeg.
ReplyDeleteJoy Eka,something tells me that wen i meet u in person,i am Gonna really like u.
Deletei am Soooo Loving u right now for dis ur decision!
U rock sweets!
we rock!
LOL
DeleteEka,
Good decision but it can be frustrating at times I must warn you. It's a difficult thing to do.
No rest, you are on duty 24/7.
Be prepared!
Been there, done that.
Just picking up the pieces of my life I left somewhere some years back.
I see a brighter future already.
Good luck.
Back to the post;
Wicked nanny, God punish you.
May you never have the privilege of being a mother ever in your miserable life!
Lol @TGW. I hope I rock oh
DeleteNot a bad idea dear but truth be told Genny is right...I decided to resign and stay back home for my kids, even though I still run my business it's difficult. Mother is gold, now I appreciate my mum more tho... I am glad we took that decision tho as it helps me spend quality time with them n also I am there to supervise my girl/nanny.In all, God is the one that protects and keeps us from danger.It is well.
DeleteHmm, this is way beyond wickedness, how can u stuff a baby after wrapping him up with a blanket in a drawer???? You now went ahead to watch a TV show for 3 hours! What were u employed to do anyways?! A nanny that should watch the baby, decides she needs a break... Na God go punish u! imagine the one that happened close to my house on airport road, Benin city. The nanny watching the 9 abi 10month old baby left the child to his mercy, the child fell off a high table or chair now... She didn't bother to report the incident to the working mom when she got back home.. that night nobody slept cos the baby was running a high temp,was inconsolable, the parents rushed the baby to the hospital only to discover the baby had sustained a broken spine... the baby died 3days later while the father locked the nanny in jail. Sad, sad, sad...
ReplyDeleteWhy take the job if you can't handle it.Baby rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteTo think she is a woman.. Smh.
ReplyDeleteClick my name for rich, tasty yet affordable small chops, Finger foods and chapman for all events.(Lagos and Ogun states)
say whaaat!
ReplyDeleteSo the baby slept for 5 whole hrs
And she wasn't ohk with that
She had to put the baby in a drawer for 3hrs..
22years in prison is too small
Life in prison is what shee deserves..
Will I call this stupidity or wickedness?
RIP baby..I feel for the parents
It is well. Mother's chasing money and leaving d kids u are chasing the money for to strangers who either sexually molest them,initiate them or sow useless characters in them that you can never correct. Economy is bad anyway that's y some women work but some just do it to prove a point. If you have a hubby who can provide, please sit at home n take care of your kids. When they are a little grown u can start your life. Set your priorities right. These young girls don't know d pain of motherhood.
ReplyDeleteIt seems nannies and anyone that has to do with children need to go through special psych evaluation before being hired these days.so many seek people walking around these days.all she had to do was feed the baby and he would be calm,was she paid to go watch tv? Gush,news like this annoy me biko
ReplyDeleteI love your name
DeleteThis is so scary. Mothers have to work now. The fear of hired helP should not now be added to the package to give us headache.
ReplyDeleteThis broke my heart. I can't imagine the agony of the mother.
ReplyDeleteLock a baby in a drawer? How can???
This broke my heart. I can't imagine the agony of the mother.

Dts y is always good for a married woman or d man to be doing a job dt is flexible enough to check on dia babies at all time. If d mother oor father av called in between d time, am sure d baby must av been saved. RIP little one.
ReplyDeleteWitches don't fly again like we assume,they live in some homes
ReplyDeleteVery good she should die in jail
ReplyDeleteStories like this,rear a dark side of me!
ReplyDeleteJail too easy for her for what she put the baby through,I hope and pray she suffers each day for her evil act till she wish someone puts her out of her misery.
I'm lost for words. Chei! Odin din omo ? Lock in a drawer? How? I can't phantom this. My heart breaks everytime I leave the house for work and leave my baby with the Nanny.
ReplyDeleteI found out that my husband has been cheating on me (online) for more than a month, just last week when i got no internet at home. i am in the Philippines and he’s in uk. i know we’re so apart but is it not enough reason to cheat? he was flirting and doing stuff with girls online. he deleted all the things i could see and he didn't intend to tell me about it but i still found it out. when i asked him to confess, he said he’s not cheating. then he admitted some things but not everything so it wouldn't make it more worse. he’s the kind of guy who will never admit a thing till he’s cornered with proofs. i was 7 months pregnant and i'm worried about my baby. i cant help but to think all the time about what my lover is doing to me. i never thought he’d do that coz i know he loves me so much. but why would he flirt and cheat on me and do stuff with girls on cam? one morning he called me and told me that the relationship is over and that he don't need me anymore i felt so hurt and betrayed so i had information about this spell caster prophet.chasus@yahoo.com, about his glorious spell to people and how he use to bring lovers back, but at first i felt unconcerned because i hardly go for such things and i thought his work has a side effect, but when i gave him a chance to cast a spell for me because i was very in need on how to get my lover back, to my surprise his spell worked for me very fine and fast, my man started loving me again and came back to me from UK.
