Bulawayo murder caught on camera

THREE masked men broke into Buchu Meat Wholesalers in Bulawayo's Thorngrove industrial area and fatally struck a security guard with a four- pound hammer on the head before robbing him of $300.

Workmates and family members of the slain security guard said the incident occurred on Saturday shortly after 1AM.

The victim identified as Jabulani Madolo, 48, of Mpopoma suburb was manning the premises when he was attacked by three men who concealed their faces under woollen monkey caps.

Two of the suspects have since been arrested after their images were captured on the company's closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV).

Madolo's workmate who declined to be named said the suspects first broke into the storeroom where they took the hammers and iron bars which they used to attack Madolo.

The suspects hid behind a refrigerated container and waylaid him before pouncing on him.
