Mystery surrounds the death of a middle-aged Norton man
whose body was retrieved from a well at his family home in Katanga’s Ward 7,
Norton on Saturday.
According to some sources, 27-year-old Norbert Jongwe (Jnr)
only returned from a long sojourn to South Africa on Friday and he did not last
24 hours in Zimbabwe.
It is said that his father, Norbert Jongwe, 62, known in
the locality as Mzambiya, was in the process of fetching water from his well
for his small in-house poultry project, when he noticed that the tin was unable
to scoop any water.
He decided to peep inside the well and caught the horrific
sight at the bottom.
Norton police officers were swiftly alerted and they
retrieved the body as a shocked crowd watched. What appeared to be two stab
wounds on the stomach of the corpse heightened speculation of foul play.
While police officers at the scene could not speak to the
media, the elder Jongwe told neighbours that his youngest son arrived home on
Friday afternoon, having left for South Africa in 2015. He spent most of his
time in the company of a teenage relative. The deceased told his father that he
had plans of buying some livestock and that he had brought some goods from
South Africa which would arrive a few days later.
So far, no one knows, at least in public, what transpired
on Friday night at House No. 305, Katanga.
Whatever it is, it resulted in a young man losing his life
just a few hours after re-uniting with his kith-and-kin for the first time in
four years. H Metro
