A Guard Alert security detail who was manning an Econet Wireless
Shop in the city has committed suicide after he shot himself once in the head
in unclear circumstances.
The incident occurred at around 5pm at the shop which is at
the Intersection of First Street and George Silundika Avenue, a stone’s throw
away from a ZRP Police Base along the street.
Although the details are still sketchy, sources said the
security guard was questioned by Econet officials over some cellphones that
recently went missing.
Others alleged that he was facing some financial problems. According
to witnesses the security guard only identified as Nyamadzawo shot himself in a
toilet at the shop.
Several people who were in the shop and others who were
outside, including vendors, scampered for cover after hearing the gunshot.
One of the vendors said, “We were outside the shop when we
heard the sound of the gunshot and we ran for our dear life. We later
discovered that a security guard had shot himself inside the toilet that is on
the first floor of the shop.”
Police attended the scene. National police spokesperson
Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said he was still checking the details of
the case. Herald
