A GOOD Samaritan, who was assisting police officers to
arrest an assault suspect in rural Marondera, was stabbed to death after
manhandling the suspect.
Kennedy Nyandoro (38) of Mudzimukunzi village, under Chief
Svosve was pronounced dead on arrival at Marondera Provincial Hospital after he
was allegedly stabbed on the throat by Jaison Chinakidza (26), who is currently
at large.
Mashonaland East provincial police spokesperson Inspector
Tendai Mwanza yesterday confirmed the incident.
“I confirm the death of a man who was stabbed by a sharp
object before the suspect fled from the scene. We appeal to members of the
public to notify the police
if they have information that may lead to the arrest of the
suspect. The public should also be careful because the suspect is dangerous,”
he said.
According to the police, on August 8, two police officers
from Marondera rural were following up on a suspect who was being sought over
an assault case.
It is reported that the now deceased who knew the suspect
offered to lead police officers to where he was.
Nyandoro, who was at a distance from the police officers,
identified Chinakidza and grabbed him and called for back-up from the police
officers.
During the scuffle, it is alleged that Chinakidza stabbed
Nyandoro on the throat and fled from the scene with police officers in pursuit,
but they lost track
of him in the darkness.
Nyandoro died on his way to hospital. Newsday
