“We asked him why he had done such a thing. He told us that he puts the panties on his bed, masturbates on them and as he does that, he sees the women whose pantie he would have targeted. He said in that moment, he would be sleeping with them through mubobobo. He claimed it feels real to him,” she said.One of the victims, a woman who asked not to be named for fear of stigma, said she was shocked to find one of her most cherished undergarments among the loot.
“I attended the court session out of curiosity. I thought it was just a rumour. I froze when I saw one of my panties in that sack. I had not even noticed it was missing. That pair of panties was special to me. I inherited it from my late sister. It had sentimental value and to think this man was using it for his rituals is just heart-breaking,” she said.Even more disturbing, the woman said, was how this dark ritual had devastating effects on her own marriage.
“My bedroom has become a cold grave. My husband and I have not been intimate for almost two years. It started when the panties disappeared. At first my husband would complain, asking what was wrong, but now he has given up.” she said.
She also said Marimo also confessed that he hears a voice, an unseen spiritual entity that compels him to steal the panties and use them for sexual gratification.“He refused to disclose the identity of the voice’s owner, claiming the person warned him to remain silent or face dire consequences,” she said.
Another woman, Stella Magumbo said
villagers were left stunned as women identified their missing undergarments, some of which had vanished from washing lines months or years ago, with no clue of where they had gone, until now.
“He had stashed some of the panties in his bedroom and others deep in the bushes. What shook everyone is that he had a sack full of them, like groceries. He claimed he used them to sleep with the owners spiritually.”s 👇
