A 25-year-old man from Zhombe - Shingirirai Makonza brutally murdered his neighbour by striking him with an axe and slicing him with a machete before setting his dogs to feast on his butchered remains.

That was sparked by a grudge over a woman and happened last week.

Makonza allegedly killed his neighbour Keith Nyambira with whom he had a long-standing dispute over a woman.

According to Sunday News, in December 2013 the now deceased Nyambira severely assaulted Makonza when the two clashed over a woman.

Nyambira paid a beast to Makonza's parents as compensation for the damages and injuries sustained by the latter as a result of the assault.

Nyambira fled from his home in a bid to evade arrest after Makonza reported the matter to the police.

According to a  relative, who refused to be named Nyambira resurfaced last month and was spotted by Makonza.

"The two fought in 2013 and Makonza sustained serious injuries. Nyambira left home when he heard that the police were looking for him. He came back home last month and Makonza saw him," said the relative.
