The body of a 43-year-old vendor, Lovemore Katyora from
Manhango Village under Chief Kasekete in Muzarabani, was found dumped by the
roadside in Gunduza Village.
Katyora had been moving from village to village selling his
wares. Assistant Inspector Fidelis Dhewu confirmed Katyora’s death and
indicated that they were treating it as murder.
He said Katyora, of number 145 Muzarabani location, left
his home on July 1, to attend a church service at Chiwenga village. “He took
his bicycle and trading bag containing cell phone accessories, said Asst Insp
Dhewu.
“He passed through several villages and was seen by Monica
Manhango (17) at around 5pm heading towards Gunduza village. On July 3 at
around 5.30pm, his body was found in an advanced stage of decomposition on the
side of a footpath in Gunduza village by Member Musiyambiri (66).”
Asst Insp Dhewu said the village head, Never Gudo, was
advised and a report was made at Muzarabani police station.
“Police attended the scene and observed that Katyora was
struck by a sharp object. We are investigating the matter and appealing to
anyone with information that can help us crack the case to come forward.”
Asst Insp Dhewu advised traders to conduct their business
during the day.
In another incident, Isaiah Matore (33) of Mushumbi was
arrested after he struck his friend Richmond Mudzunga (33) with an axe for
stealing a pair of scissors.
The incident happened on July 5 at around 5.30pm at
Jurujena village under Chief Chisunga.
On the fateful day, Mudzunga was accompanied by another
friend Sobert Kaundura (33) to Matore’s homestead.
“He wanted to borrow a mirror to use while shaving his
beard and after doing so, he left,” said Asst Insp Dhewu.
“Matore followed the pair and accused Mudzunga of stealing
his pair of scissors. He started assaulting him and afterwards he picked up an
axe and struck Mudzunga on the forehead.”
