ZAKA— A soldier from Makumire Village under
Chief Bota and based at 4.1 Infantry Brigade was killed over a girlfriend at
Svuure Shopping Centre in Zaka last week.
Munyaradzi Chikovore is alleged to have
been killed by his girlfriend Melody Munyaradzi’s ex-husband Samson Muzivirwa.
Efforts to get a comment from the
police where fruitless as Masvingo provincial police spokesperson Inspector
Kudakwashe Dhewa said they haven’t received anything concerning the story.
Sources privy to the incident said on
the fateful day, Chikovore and Munyaradzi were seated at a Church of Christ
building at Svuure Business Center when the latter’s ex-husband arrived.
Muzivirwa is alleged to have attacked his
ex-wife first on the head and arm with an iron bar before she escaped and
sought refuge nearby.
Sources say Muzivirwa was demanding his
lobola back while attacking his ex-wife.
The enraged Muzivirwa is said to have
pursued his ex-wife with the intention to attack her further but was restrained
by onlookers.
The ex-wife is said to have fled and
locked herself in a shop prompting Muzivirwa to go after Chikovore who was
ambushed and assaulted by an iron rod accusing him of snatching wife.
The now deceased tried to escape but
was pursued and the attack continued. Chikovore’s body was discovered close to
Svuure Business Centre the following morning by villagers who alerted the
police.
