A worshipper has stabbed six people to death and seriously wounded four others, police said on Saturday.
The incident happened at around 3AM on Stone Claire Road in the Midlands town of Redcliff, police spokesman Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said.
Nyathi said the suspect is a 26-year-old man who apparently suffered a "mental illness while attending an all-night prayer at a local apostolic sect shrine."
"Police arrested the suspect and recovered a hoe, axe, kitchen knife and three spears. Investigations are in full swing," Nyathi added.
ZimLive sources have named the suspect as Thubelihle Kheshow, who lives in Kwekwe.
Police said they would release further information later Saturday.
