Police in Shurugwi are investigating a case of murder in which a 34-year-old man was pronounced dead upon arrival at Shurugwi District Hospital after being assaulted by two other men at Mountdor in Shurugwi on April 3.
Midlands Provincial Police Spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko confirmed the incident and said police were appealing for information regarding suspects’ whereabouts.
“I confirm the death of a 34-year-old man in Mountdor and the police are treating the two men mentioned by witnesses as suspects. The two are only known as Tinashe and Lyton who were last seen with the now deceased.
“We are keen to interview them and we are pleading with anyone with information on their whereabouts to notify us,” said Mahoko.
Circumstances are that, Vengai Mujere a man aged 43 and Willard Taranhike a man aged 40 both from Mountdor, Shurugwi were at their place of residence when they heard a cry for help and rushed towards the direction from which the noise was coming to investigate.
They found Stephen Muvengi lying on the ground groaning in pain who told them that he had been attacked by two men only known as Tinashe and Lyton.
Muvengi became unconscious and the two hired a vehicle that carried the victim to Shurugwi District Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
