Silindi Ncube (28), also known as Nda is suspected of killing his sister Patience Ncube (26) about two weeks ago before folding up the body, covering it with a blanket and burying it in a pit at their backyard in Bulawayo’s Old Magwegwe suburb.
Nda is on the run and police are yet to establish the motive for the murder. A cousin, Miss Angela Tshuma, who lived with the siblings, reported Patience missing on June 15. Tshuma who had travelled to Esigodini when Silindi allegedly killed Patience, said he lied to her when she asked him about his sister’s whereabouts. She said she wasn’t convinced by his story since all of Patience’s belongings were in the house.
Neighbors urged police to dig the pit after one of them said he saw Nda digging a large pit where he dumped an object covered in sheets. The police were reluctant to dig and insisted that they wanted to question Nda first.
