A shocking murder has left residents of Warren Park in shock after witnessing an Apostolic sect leader being fatally stabbed in the streets of the high density suburb.
Stuart Tapiwa Chirara was stabbed to death by a fellow church mate, Webster Mutinje.
The deceased was alleged to be having an adulterous relationship with the Mutinje's wife.
The deceased was an Apostolic church elder who worshiped with the suspects wife, and practiced a spiritual ritual known as 'Kushandira Mweya.'
On Sunday mid-morning, Webster Mutinje paid a visit to Chirara's home in Warren Park armed with a butcher's knife and an acid bottle.
He proceeded to sprinkle acid on the occupants of the house through the dinning room window, injuring Chirara's son.
Mutinje proceeded into the house where he found Chirara and stabbed him in his shoulder and blinded him with the remaining acid.
In a bid to save his life, Chirara ran out into the street calling for help but friends and neighbours could not assist as his attacker was armed with a butcher's knife.
The Chirara family is still in shock and regret that such an incident that could have been solved amicably took such a tragic turn for the worse.
Harare Province Police Spokesperson, Inspector Memory Pamire confirmed the murder and called on members of the public not to take the law into their own hands.
It is alleged the suspect Mutinje also stabbed his wife and accused her of infidelity, before he proceeded to murder Chirara.
