The victim clashed with the gang as he made an unannounced visit to the mine to confirm reports of theft of gold ore by syndicates working in cahoots with his workers.
40 suspects attacked Chilcott indiscriminately all over the body leading to his death. The suspects shared the ore amongst six syndicates and dispersed.
Police recovered some gold ore and 2 buckets of gold concentrate which was being milled at Zheng-Zim Investments, Calton 45 Mill, Chegutu and the Nissan UD truck used by the suspects in the commission of the offence. More arrests are pending in this case.
