Cde Kennias Dzingirai (35), the Zanu PF ward 13 chairman in
Chingwizi, Mwenezi East, died after he was stabbed in the chest and stomach,
allegedly by Paulosi Mangoma (40), a teacher at Batanai Primary School in the
area.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul
Nyathi yesterday said Mangoma had since been arrested and would appear in court
soon.
“The suspect, a teacher at Batanai Primary School in the
Chingwizi area, is assisting police with investigations and will appear in
court soon charged with murder,” said Asst Comm Nyathi.
According to preliminary police investigations, Cde
Dzingirai and some associates were at a tuckshop in the Chingwizi area
discussing the delivery of ballot papers to the party’s elections command
centre in the constituency.
It is alleged that Mangoma interrupted the discussion
between Cde Dzingirai and his colleagues whom he accused of disturbing his
peace and then that a fist-fight broke out between Cde Dzingirai and Mangoma.
This was stopped by others who managed to restrain the two.
Mangoma went home, but allegedly returned armed with a kitchen knife, charged
at Cde Dzingirai and stabbed him in the chest and stomach.
Cde Dzingirai collapsed and died on the spot and a report
was made to police leading to Mangoma’s arrest. The body was taken to a
mortuary and is awaiting a post-mortem. Herald
