A MISUNDERSTANDING turned into murder after a man stabbed his friend and ran away at a night club in Gweru.
In a statement on X, the National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPAZ) said Tafafadzwa Nigel Masvimbo the accused and the deceased worked together as artisanal miners in Shurugwi. On 4 September 2023 Masvimbo and the now deceased were at Shumba Nite Club, Mkoba 6 Business Centre, Gweru when a misunderstanding arose between them.
“They went outside to resolve the dispute whereupon Masvimbo drew a knife and stabbed the now deceased to death. Masvimbo fled the scene and proceeded to sleep at home. The deceased’s body was discovered by a passer-by who reported the matter to the Police. Investigations were carried out leading to the arrest of Masvimbo. He was convicted and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment, “said NPAZ
The National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe encourages members of the public to desist from violence and resolve their disputes amicably or seek third party mediation.
