POPULAR Mutare businessman Kumbirai Khumbula was yesterday
morning shot dead by suspected robbers who stormed into an all-night prayer
meeting at his home in Darlington low-density suburb.
Manicaland provincial police spokesperson Inspector
Tavhingwa Kakokwa confirmed the incident, but could not provide finer details.
“The robbers tied the businessman’s family and some church
members who were at the house for an all-night prayer,” Kakohwa said. “It is
still unclear why the robbers shot him. Reports suggest that they demanded cash
from him.”
Khumbula ran a chain of retail outlets in the eastern
border city and sources privy to the incident said the shooting occurred at
around 5am.
