TWO suspects who allegedly stabbed a Brethren in Christ Church (BICC) member to death in Cowdray Park suburb have been arrested.

Inobubele Mhlanga (23), a fashion and design student at the Bulawayo Polytechnic and a Brethren In Christ Church member, was heartlessly stabbed to death allegedly by Thamsanqa Ndebele and Euton Sebatha near her home after disembarking from a commuter omnibus.

The heart-rending incident occurred on Monday and has been confirmed by Acting Bulawayo Provincial Police Spokesperson Assistant Inspector Nomalanga Msebele.

“We confirm the arrest of Thamsanqa Ndebele and Euton Sebatha for allegedly murdering a 23-year-old woman in Cowdray Park suburb.

“We would like to advise community members to revive the Neighbourhood Watch Committee to police their suburbs during the night.

“We would also like to discourage community members from using short routes because they will be exposing themselves to criminals,” she said.

Police from Cowdray Park launched an investigation leading to the arrest of Ndebele and Sebatha. They are soon to appear at West Commonage Courts.
