Man kills brother, on the run

A man from Mudidzwa Village under Chief Nyashanu in Buhera is on the run after he allegedly stabbed his younger brother to death following a dispute.

Ngoni Zinyemba allegedly stabbed Tinofa Zinyemba with a knife three times on the neck and in the chest because the deceased had assaulted the suspect's son with fists.

Manicaland Provincial Police Spokesperson Inspector Tavhiringwa Kakohwa confirmed the incident.

Councillor Dambson Makichi of ward 15 told The Mirror that Ngoni fatally stabbed his brother Tinofa after the later assaulted his (Ngoni) son, Decent Zinyemba with fists.

He said that Ngoni's son entered into a room where Tinofa and Ngoni were discussing family issues with their mother. Decent entered playing music at high volume which interrupted the family discussion.

This annoyed Tinofa and he ordered Decent to stop the music. Decent allegedly continued to play the music which did not go down well with Tinofa who then assaulted Decent.

This saw Tinofa and Ngoni exchanging harsh words and blows as Ngoni was saying Tinofa had no right to assault his son.

Ngoni then took a knife and stabbed Tinofa. Ngoni ran away after realising that he had killed his brother.

The matter was reported at Murambinda Police Station.
