Three illegal miners allegedly killed their colleague in a gold dispute in Shamva on Sunday.
Mashonaland Central deputy police spokesperson Sergeant Major Samuel Chikasha confirmed the death of Collins Makebo (42) who was stabbed to death by three suspects.
"I can confirm a murder case in Shamva where three suspected murderers killed Makebo in a gold dispute near Tiperary bar in Shamva," Chikasha said.
"Only one suspect was identified as Kudzi and the duo is still to be identified."
It is further alleged that the trio left the now-deceased in a pool of blood before vanishing.
A Good Samaritan tried to take Makebo to the hospital where he was pronounced dead upon admission.
Police warned people to desist from violence and carrying dangerous weapons.
"We would like to discourage people from violence and carrying of dangerous weapons because the wrath of the law will pounce on them," Chikasha said.
