Investigations conducted by The Manica Post revealed that
the school authorities at Tekwane High School had to drive Livingstone back to
school where he was later caught stealing food from the school kitchen, thereby
leading to his expulsion from the institution.
His parents later enrolled him as a Form Three learner at
St Mathias High School in Mutasa until his disappearance from the school on
December 5, 2021, when he allegedly broke into the institution’s tuckshop and
stole some goodies that were later found tucked under his bed.
Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Nobert
Muzondo revealed that before disappearing on December 5th, Livingstone left his
cellphone in the school dormitory.
The police managed to retrieve the messages he sent to a
school mate announcing his departure.
Inspector Muzondo said Livingstone hinted that he was
leaving to start a new life somewhere else, adding that there is a possibility
that he (Livingstone) could be outside the country or could have committed
suicide.
“Investigations carried out revealed that the
wanted/missing person was once a leaner at Tekwane High School, Plumtree from
2018-2019 where he did Form One and Two,” said Inspector Muzondo.
“There is clear evidence of shoeprints as well as the
recovered groceries positively linking the wanted person to the commission of
the offence at St Mathias (Tsonzo) High School.
“Livingstone was then picked by the police for interviews
and was later released into the custody of the school authorities where he
later went missing from the school on December 5, 2021. However, before
disappearing, the accused person left his cellphone in the school dormitory
from which evidence of communication indicate that he last communicated with a
school mate indicating that he was proceeding somewhere to start a new life.
“The wanted/missing
indicated that “he wasn’t going anywhere specifically but was just disappearing
from this life and was starting something new elsewhere. Selina Tadya
(Livingstone’s mother) is aware of this since she is in the custody of the
cellphone which was left by her son,” said Inspector Muzondo.
Inspector Muzondo added: “Judging from that last text
message on Livingstone’s cellphone, he could have disappeared to a new place
outside the country or could have committed suicide fearing the shame that he
had brought upon himself after committing the offence.” Manica Post
