Clever Dende (19) of Labamba Village, Nyangambe, Mkwasine,
Chief Tshovani, Witness Chifuva, Trymore Chifuva, Liberty Daramba, Motion
Gwava, and Clever Gayi of Ngwana Resettlement allegedly killed Pearson
Manyengedza on Friday last week.
Masvingo provincial police spokesperson Inspector
Kudakwashe Dhewa said people should desist from the culture of nursing grudges
and solve their differences amicably.
“On 14 January around 11pm at Labamba Village, Chiredzi,
Manyengedza was listening to his radio waiting for other church members a few
metres from the shrine when the six men approached him. Manyengedza had in the
afternoon refrained Witness from fighting at Chiradzamunda Business Centre,
Nyangambe and that did not go down well with Witness. The gang then followed
him to the shrine and when they arrived at the shrine they saw Manyengedza
sitting nearby.
Manyengedza approached Dende who was with the other members
of the gang and Witness started pushing him. Manyengedza stood up and left the
group. Witness followed him and there was a misunderstanding. The other five
joined in and started assaulting Manyengedza.
Trymore then stabbed Manyengedza with an unknown object
under the left armpit and he collapsed,” he said.
Insp Dhewa said that Manyengedza bled profusely and died on
the spot.
“The gang then ran away when they discovered that
Manyengedza had died. The other church members who were about 20 metres from
the crime scene ran to the spot and found Manyengedza lying lifeless. They
tried to resuscitate him but to no avail.”
The matter was reported at Nyangambe Police Station and the
body was ferried to Chiredzi General Hospital. Sunday News
