British Ambassador to Zimbabwe Deborah Bronnert has described the fatal attack on Guruve white farmer Malcolm Francis and his daughter Catherine as horrific and called for the local police to bring perpetrators to book.
"Guruve murders. Agree. Horrific attack. Hope police apprehend perpetrators quickly. Condolences to family," Bronnert posted on micro blogging site Twitter.
Malcolm Francis and his daughter Catherine were attacked by unidentified assailants suspects on 10 May.
They were found beaten and unconscious by a family member who rushed them to hospital.
Catherine died last Wednesday from injuries suffered from the assault while Malcolm passed away on Monday night.
The Commercial Farmers Union (CFU) has expressed shock and anger over the incident and called for the perpetrators of the attack to be brought to book.
The group will be holding a press conference in Harare on Friday to discuss the situation facing the agricultural sector in Zimbabwe, in light of the deaths.
