The explosion, which happened last week, was reportedly
caused by gas leaking from one of the supply tanks owned by the suspect,
Garfield Mafanele.
The explosion also damaged six tuckshops and all their
contents.
Nerisa Chauke (23) died near Ngundu and Simbarashe
Mufandirwa succumbed to the injuries in the Nyanda area as they were being
ferried to Masvingo Provincial Hospital.
Three other victims are in hospital in a critical
condition.
Masvingo provincial police spokesperson Inspector
Kudakwashe Dhewa said they were going to charge Mafanele with culpable
homicide.
“The whereabouts of the gas shop owner (Mafanele) are still
unknown and we are tracking him down,” he said.
“The long arm of the law will soon catch up with him and we
will charge him with culpable homicide. Herald
