The incident took place in Chief Mutema’s area last week on
Sunday and the trio — Clemence Chibvepi, Christopher Chibvepi and Martin Dube —
are reported to have taken turns to assault Lucky Tsegure with sticks and logs
all over his body.
Tsegure sustained serious head injuries and bled profusely,
thereby resulting in his death. The three suspects allegedly dumped the body
along the banks of Budzi River.
Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luxson
Chananda confirmed the murder and said a manhunt for the trio has since been
launched as they disappeared from the scene after committing the offence.
“Tsegure sold a dog to Clemence and they finalised the deal
amicably. Days later, Clemence learnt that the dog had been stolen from a
fellow villager, a Chimene.
“Clemence, his brother Christopher and a friend, Martin
Dube went for a beer binge and met Tsegure and his friend Solomon Mudimba.
“A misunderstanding ensued between Clemence and Tsegure
with the former accusing the latter of selling him a stolen dog. Onlookers
unsuccessfully tried to restrain the enraged Clemence.
“Clemence, Christopher and Dube teamed up and dragged
Tsegure from the homestead to Budzi River about 3km away. They took turns to
assault him with sticks and logs. They dragged the badly injured Tsegure to the
river bank and dumped him there,” said Inspector Chananda.
On May 13, Bothwell Sithole (24) discovered Tsegure’s body.
Inspector Chananda appealed to members of the public with information leading
to the arrest of the trio to contact their nearest police station.
Meanwhile, an axe-wielding 35-year-old Rusape man, Milton
Chihobo, is on the run after he gruesomely murdered his wife, Martha Chinawa
(43), over a love text message he had seen in the latter’s phone.
Inspector Chananda confirmed the murder which happened in
Chief Chiduku’s area.
“An infuriated Chihobo who was armed with an axe confronted
Chinawa about the issue but she failed to give a satisfactory answer. He
chopped her on the left cheek and the back of her head with an axe. She
sustained serious injuries and died on the spot. Chihobo vanished from the
scene soon after committing the heinous act. He is still at large,” said
Inspector Chananda. Manica Post
