POLICE in Hwange have arrested four people, two of them
twin brothers, for allegedly fatally assaulting an unidentified man at a
brothel in Hwange.
The brothers Ashford and Joseph Nasilele (34), Greatjoy
Nyoni (25) and Brian Ndlovu (23) were arrested yesterday and charged with
murder.
They allegedly used switches to assault the man whose
identity is yet to be established leaving him for dead. Matabeleland North
police spokesperson Chief Inspector Siphiwe Makonese was not reachable on her
mobile phone to confirm the incident which happened on Saturday.
The murder took place at a house used as a brothel by
commercial sex workers in Raylton. A police source said the suspects were in
police cells assisting with investigations.
The source said while a report made to the police alleged
that the now deceased was suspected to be a thief, those closer to the goings
on had said he had visited one of the hookers but found another man in the room
leading to a fight.
Other occupants of the house allegedly joined in to assault
the deceased. According to the source, the now deceased begged to be
taken to hospital after the assault but his attackers dragged him out of the
yard and dumped his body at a nearby dumpsite.
“On June 7, a woman was awakened by noise of the now
deceased who was screaming for help outside her yard. She went to check and
found Ashford holding the now deceased by the hand questioning him about what
he was doing in the yard,” said the source. The suspects allegedly started
assaulting him before letting him go.
The now deceased allegedly returned to the yard at around
3AM begging the four attackers to take him to hospital as he was in deep pain.
It is alleged that the suspects further assaulted him until
he became unconscious. Ashford dragged and dumped him at a dumpsite.
The man’s body was discovered by passers-by in the morning
and a report was made to the police leading to the arrest of the quartet.
The deceased body was taken to Hwange Colliery Hospital
mortuary awaiting post-mortem. Chronicle
