Sources said that Takunda Hamandishe(18) left a note with the words-'Isaiah 50, I love you'.

"It is still not clear why Takunda hanged himself. The only thing which was found in his room was a note which had a bible verse Isaiah 50- I love you all," said a close relative on condition of anonymity.

The deceased was found hanging from a roof trusses by his brother Isheanesu (22).
Takunda was an 'O' level student at Mpandawana High school. Masvingo Police Spokesperson Inspector Charity Mazula confirmed the case.

According to the Police report, Takunda and Isheanesu had a misunderstanding over who was to drive a car that was in their possession.

At around 10am, Isheaneshu left the deceased at home and went to Mpandawana Business Centre.

When Isheanesu came back, he found his younger brother hanging from trusses with a rope.
