Police in Midlands are investigating a murder case in which a 21-year-old man died on admission at Gweru Provincial Hospital after he was found lying unconscious at Maboleni Business Centre in Lower Gwelo on April 18, 2024.
Midlands Provincial Police Spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko confirmed the incident and urged members of the public with information on the matter to report it to the police.
“I can confirm that we have a report of an incident where a man from Lower Gwelo is suspected to have been murdered after he was found with a stab wound and we are appealing to anyone who might have details of what could have happened to approach the nearest police station as the suspects are still at large.
“We urge members of the public to desist from the use of violence as a means of solving disputes,” said Mahoko.
Information gathered reveals that the now deceased Brisky Moyo of Njini Village, Chief Sogwala, Lower Gwelo spent the day drinking beer at Maboleni Business Centre in the company of his two friends Terrence Chimhau (26) and Joseph Chimusoja (30) both from the same village.
At around 1700 hours Moyo had a misunderstanding with an unknown man over a girlfriend and the dispute was resolved.
Chimhau and Chimusoja got into Savemore Bottlestore to buy some beer leaving Moyo outside and could not find him when they came back.
At about 2000 hours Moyo was seen by one Alfred Sibanda (24) lying down behind a hardware shop at the Business Centre who informed his mother, Nothando Ncube.
The matter was reported to police and Moyo was rushed to Gweru Provincial Hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. His body was inspected and found with a stab wound on the chest.
