The two suspects accused Chidhakwa of calling (on the phone) their friend Joseph Muzenda whom he (Chidhakwa) claimed had married his pregnant girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the police, a misunderstanding arose between Chidhakwa and the two suspects.<\/p>\n<p>Zikoke is reported to have grabbed Chidhakwa from behind whilst Zharare stabbed him with a knife once on the left side of the chest and once on the left leg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe died on the spot. The two then placed a loaded cotton bale on top of the body and disappeared from the scene,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The matter was reported to the police by an eyewitness and the murder scene was attended by the police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe body of the deceased was conveyed to Gokwe South Hospital Mortuary. No arrests were made and investigations are underway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolice are appealing to members of the public who might have information about the whereabouts of the suspects Simbarashe Zikoke and Wellington Zharare to inform any nearest police station. On the same note, we reiterate the need for people to seek mediation from elders whenever they have differences,\u201d Mahoko said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
