THE deputy headmaster at Gumbonzvanda High School in
Mashonaland East province, allegedly stormed out of a meeting on Tuesday and
committed suicide yesterday following a heated misunderstanding over missing
school money.
Mashonaland East provincial police spokesperson Inspector
Tendai Mwanza confirmed the incident and identified the deceased as Lancelot
Zinzombe (50).
According to police, Zinzombe was found hanging from a tree
about 200 metres from his rural homestead in Mukazi village, under Chief Ruzane
in Wedza.
“Police are still investigating the circumstances
surrounding the death of a senior teacher at Gumbonzvanda High School. I
confirm receiving such a report, however I have no finer details surrounding
the case at the moment,” said Mwanza.
According to information obtained by NewsDay, Zinzombe
stormed out of a school meeting on Tuesday following a heated debate over the
missing $90 000 which was unearthed during an audit.
It is reported that Nzombe informed his nephew Rodney Gava
that he was going to Gumbonzvanda Primary School, which is adjacent to the
secondary school.
Later in the evening, he allegedly sent a WhatsApp message
to Gava advising him that he wanted to be buried close to father’s grave and
that they would find his dead body in the field at his rural home.
Gava then travelled to Goneso to look for his uncle.
Zinzombe’s body later was found hanging from a tree close to the homestead and
his body was conveyed to Mount St Mary’s Hospital for post-mortem. Newsday
