The incident occurred at Zhombe Shopping Centre, Kwekwe on October 29, 2022 at around 0100 hours.

“Members of the public missing a relative may approach Zhombe police or any nearest police station. The body is being held at Kwekwe General Hospital Mortuary.
“The deceased had no particulars on his person making the identification of the body very difficult. Members of the public must appreciate that it is always important to have identification particulars at all times and where possible have a trusted person know your movements,” Mahoko said.
According to a police report, the now deceased (a man who is around 33 years old) was found stealing groceries at a shop.

Meanwhile police attended the scene and found deceased’s body on the ground.
