An 80-year-old security guard was reportedly mauled to death by his employer's eight dogs in the early hours of Wednesday.
Eye witnesses allege Nelson Amini (80), who served as a security guard in Chigudhu farm Mvurwi, was attacked to death by Pashani's dogs.
"It is very astonishing to note that this old man was attacked by the dogs he looked after for a long time.
"We heard the dogs barking before we saw him being mauled and he died on the spot," explained the source.
Mashonaland Central police spokesperson Inspector Milton Mundembe could not be reached for comment.
Meanwhile, the Amini's corpse has been sent to Mvurwi hospital for postmortem.
When Bulawayo24.com arrived on the scene the police were busy gunning down the rowdy dogs.
