Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. Police and other security forces are still on the hunt for Anymore Zvitsva, 32, the suspected Guruve serial killer who is alleged to have killed 12 people in separate incidents in the area since October.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has offered a substantial cash reward for information that leads to Zvitsva’s arrest.
Speaking to state media, ZRP spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said they are also searching for anyone suspected of helping or harbouring the suspect. He said:
“The substantial monetary reward is still standing and we are also looking for people or relatives who are assisting the suspect. They are liable for arrest.”
An intensified manhunt is underway for Zvitsva, supported by drones, canine units, horse patrols, and specialised tactical teams.
The killings, which began as isolated incidents in October, have escalated into a disturbing pattern, with more than a dozen people reportedly murdered in Guruve.
Night-time attacks have spread fear across the district, forcing families to abandon their homes and seek safety by sleeping in groups at designated houses.
Last Monday, two more people, a mother and her Form Three daughter, were killed in Bhosha Village, Magaya area, while another child survived by hiding under a bed.
Separately, a 55-year-old woman and a six-month-old infant were also slain at Farm 88 in Nyakapupu, bringing the death toll in recent attacks to 10.
These killings follow the murder of five members of the same family at Ona Mapeto Farm in Ward 21, including a 66-year-old grandmother, her 40-year-old son, 37-year-old daughter, and two grandchildren aged five and two.
Zvitsva is also linked to the murders of Pamela Chipangura, 39, and her two children, Kudzai and Tawanda, in Zimuna Village.
