Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Tavhiringwa Kakohwa confirmed the incident and appealed to the members of the public to assist with any information that can lead to the arrest of the suspects.

Moyo, who was travelling towards Chipinge, boarded a white Honda Fit, whose registration number could not be established, at Save business centre in Chiredzi.
There were three other people in the car including the driver.
