A University of Zimbabwe student was grisly murdered and
thrown into Mazowe Dam by yet-unknown assailants.
Tinotenda Zveguta’s (23), lifeless body was found floating
in the dam on Sunday with hands tied to his legs by cable ties. Zveguta was a
third year Vet Science student.
The deceased was also found with lacerations and wounds on
his body which could point to being attacked before being thrown into the
water.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul
Nyathi confirmed the incident saying foul play could not be ruled out while
police were still conducting investigations.
“We cannot rule out foul play and we are still
investigating. Further investigations
will provide pointers from the time he went missing, people he was with up to
the time he was found dead,” Ass Comm Nyathi said.
The family yesterday could not be drawn into commenting on
the issue with the elder brother saying he was busy attending to some issues.
UZ Student’s Representative Committee (SRC), president
Fanuel Kaseke said he was mobilising other students to attend the funeral.
“We are very saddened by the untimely death of Tinotenda
Zveguta a part 3 student from the faculty of Vet Science.
“As the University of Zimbabwe students’ union we extend
our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends. May they find solace and
comfort in the Lord.
“We will organise a bus for students to attend the burial
in Hurungwe,” he said.
It is reported that when Zveguta went missing on July 2, he
was in an emotionally unstable state and he told some of his friends that he
was going to Mutare; others were told that he was going to Bindura from Harare.
