The deceased was fatally assaulted by his brothers-in-law who then disappeared from the scene.
The family of the deceased then buried the body without notifying the police.
Police say that on the fateful day, the two brothers passed through Shimbini’s yard who was drunk around 7 pm.
Shimbini confronted them, accused them of trespassing and slapped both in-laws, who then responded in kind and left him vomiting and writhing in pain.
Shimbini died the following day on the way to a clinic and his family made a U-turn, buried him without reporting to the police.
However, acting on a tip-off, a neighbourhood watch committee members reported the matter to Chikombedzi Police.
Police went to the homestead and confirmed the burial but failed to locate the Hlongwane brothers.
