adminbeen referred to Harare Central Homicide Section. Munashe’s death is being treated as murder after the doctor who conducted an autopsy raised alarm.
Criminal Investigations Department spokesperson Detective Sergeant Sharon Musendo confirmed the development.
“CID Homicide Section has taken over investigations and they have interviewed school pupils and staff at Prince Edward to ascertain what really transpired,” she said.
Det Sgt Musendo said investigations were still in progress and nothing tangible had emerged so far. The Munashe incident came after several other cases of bullying were reported at the school.
In February last year, six pupils were arrested for allegedly battering and seriously injuring a boy for wearing sunglasses during sporting activities at the school.
The victim reportedly lost three teeth in the attack. The quartet, aged between 16 and 17 years, appeared in court on assault charges and were convicted.
They were sentenced to 105 hours of community service.
The assault case came barely a week after a prefect, Mike Manga, was arrested and appeared in court for battering Bruce Nyatanga, son to Zimbabwe National Soccer Supporters Association leader Eddie Nyatanga. Manga (18) broke Bruce’s finger and was charged with assault.
