Acting Police Spokesperson Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka confirmed the
incident that happened last Sunday to Chipinge Times.
Clever had
allegedly threatened to kill Mazikata after accusing him of bewitching Cephas’s
minor child who died on May 11, 2025.
Circumstances
are that Mazikata went to his field to guard his sesame crops overnight.
Mazikata’s
lifeless body was found hanging from a Mutsviri tree branch in the field by his
wife, Sarah Chauke the next morning when she went to give him breakfast. Chauke
reported the matter at Chisumbanje Police Station.
Police attended
the scene and no visible injuries were found on Mazikata’s body. Mazikata’s
relatives told Police that they suspected foul play following Clever’s alleged
death threats.
Police arrested
Clever last Saturday and he implicated his brother Cephas who was then
arrested. Investigations are underway. Masvingo Mirror
