An 88-year-old man from Nhamo Village, Chief Nyajena, Masvingo, tragically lost his life in an inferno at his homestead on April 8.
Masvingo Provincial Police Spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the death of Vhurande Nhamo to TellZim News and said investigations were still underway.
“We have a report where an 80 year old perished in an inferno at his home in Nhamo Village. Investigations are underway to determine the cause of the fire,” said Inspector Dhewa.
The incident occurred around 1600 hours on April 8. Solomon Nhamo (66) visited his father, Vhurande, at his homestead. After a while, Solomon left, and Vhurande retired to his one-roomed house to sleep where he used a candle for lighting.
At around 0200 hours in the morning, a villager noticed smoke rising from Vhurande’s house, which was soon engulfed in flames. The villager alerted others, and they rushed to the scene. After breaking down the door, they managed to pull Vhurande from the burning building.
He was immediately taken to Nyajena Rural Hospital (Muchibwa) where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. Vhurande sustained severe burns and his body was refered to the Masvingo Provincial Mortuary for a post-mortem examination.
