Leonard Jambwa (28), Jacob Maunde (28), Spencer Dube (21)
and Adren Kugara (23) are assisting police with investigations following the
death of Clever Muuduri (18), who they allegedly assaulted to death on February
28, 2021.
Mashonaland East provincial police spokesperson Inspector
Tendai Mwanza confirmed the incident.
“People should respect the sanctity of life and when faced
with disputes, they must resort to peaceful means to resolve them,” Mwanza
said.
It is alleged that on February 28, at around 3pm, the
deceased and his father, Nhamo Muuduri (51) were drinking beer at a homestead
in Zhakata village, Chief Mangwende area in Murewa.
The four suspects were also partaking of beer at the same
homestead. The now-deceased reportedly picked a quarrel with Jambwa, accusing
him of having an affair with his girlfriend.
A fist-fight broke out before the two were restrained by
other patrons. Jambwa reportedly left
the homestead. The now-deceased and his father allegedly followed and caught up
with him at Dube’s residence.
The fist-fight resumed and Jambwa was overpowered by the
now-deceased and his father. Jambwa called for help from his colleagues who
assaulted the duo with bricks. The four fled from the scene after realising
that Muuduri had fallen unconscious.
A local teacher reportedly ferried Muuduri to Murewa
District Hospital together with his father who had also been seriously injured.
Muuduri was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital,
leading to the suspects’ arrest for murder. Newsday
