Pastor Fails To Resurrect After Telling Church Members To Bury Him Alive

Five members of the same family were charged with the murder of a prophet who had been called to their home in Mazonde village, Zimbabwe to help them cleanse their house of evil spirits.

The accused family appeared at the High Court in Harare facing a murder charge for participating in the death of self-professed Prophet Shamiso Kanyama, who accidentally died during a healing ceremony.

Pastor Kanyama had asked his followers to bury him alive so that he could summon more cleansing powers to heal the family that had been plagued by mysterious deaths.

The five men had requested the priest to help them clean their home of evil spirits because it was causing mysterious deaths in their family.

Responding to their request to perform a healing ceremony, Kanyama had ordered his followers to dig a grave and bury him alive because that was the way he summoned more healing powers to ward off evil spirits. However, when the men dug up the grave again to get him out, they found him dead.
