Police said five suspects robbed Tinotenda Karumazondo, a gold dealer, at gunpoint and abducted him, before dumping him several kilometres away from his home.

On the same day at around 2200 hours, the accused persons were confronted by the villagers who had mobilized each other and set up a roadblock.

One of the accused persons fired a shot that hit one of the villagers on the wrists to scare them off.
