A court determined on Thursday that the former model accused of attempting to assassinate Zimbabwe’s vice president forged marriage documents to formalize their eight-year relationship.

Marry Mubaiwa, 40, was formerly a member of Zimbabwe’s upper crust, having married an international footballer before leaving to marry the country’s then-army chief, Constantino Chiwenga.

Her star kept rising after Chiwenga orchestrated the 2017 coup against Robert Mugabe, landing him the vice presidency as his ally Emmerson Mnangagwa took power.

But then money laundering, fraud and murder charges derailed her ambitions. A lymphatic disease meanwhile ravaged her body so badly that doctors are planning to amputate her forearm.

Mubaiwa and Chiwenga were wed under customary law, including a traditional offering of cattle to her family.

The relationship turned sour. While Chiwenga was hospitalized in South Africa in 2019, she is charged with trying to kill him by removing his intravenous lines.

Around that time, she also forged his signature on documents that would have formalized their wedding as a civil marriage, which grants more rights to women in the event of a divorce, the court ruled Thursday.

“The accused made a false statement… that there was consent from Chiwenga yet there was none,” the ruling read.

Mubaiwa claims Chiwenga of obstructing all of her attempts to seek care outside of Zimbabwe, despite the fact that the country’s ill-equipped hospital system lacks specialists to manage her disease.

Her murder case is still pending, as is a $1 million money laundering case.
