The Zimbabwe Republic Police has expressed concern over an increase in murder cases that are occurring countrywide.
These are prompted by domestic issues such as extramarital affairs, sharing of property on separation and couples’ failure to resolve issues.
Some of the murder cases are over misunderstandings during beer drinking and witchcraft allegations.
Police have also recorded cases where minors aged between seven years and 17 years have killed each other while playing or engaging in various social activities, including playing soccer.
In a statement, national police spokesperson, Commissioner Paul Nyathi said, “The Zimbabwe Republic Police urges the public to find peaceful methods of resolving disputes or differences at family and society level. This includes at fora where adults and children will be embarking on various socio-economic activities.
“The church, traditional leaders and the community is implored to come on board to ensure the public respects the sanctity of human life. The police will continue to engage communities to promote the culture of law-abiding citizens in all facets of life.”
