Police in Manicaland are appealing for information that may lead to the arrest of Mike Zinyembe (27) of Chirengwa Village, Chief Chiduku, Rusape who attacked Nicholas Chirengwa (34) with stones twice on the head and the victim died on the spot.

In a suspected ritual murder, on 04th December 2021 at 1200 hours, Audrey Mufaro Murira (5) was playing with her friends when the suspect, Philmon Chikata, a male adult of Messengers Camp, Nyanga passed by.
