The Zimbabwe Republic Police {ZRP} has confirmed the arrest of 2 man suspected of stabbing a man on the chest with a knife in Silobela at Mambo Queen Mine.
Police said the victim was killed Saturday after he had stabbed one of the murder suspects with a broken beer bottle on Friday, which prompted the two suspects to revenge.
Posting on their Twitter handle, the police said matters leading to the argument during the trio’s beer drinking spree on Friday remain unknown.
“ZRP Silobela arrested Justice Matindike (24) and Tirivashe Gumbo (23) in connection with a case of murder which occurred on 29/10/22 at Mambo Queen Mine, where the victim, Marshal Gwabeni (30) died after being stabbed on the chest and both hands with a knife.
“The suspects were on a revenge mission after the victim had stabbed Justice Matindike with a broken beer bottle on the hand following an argument over an unknown issue during a beer drinking spree on 28/10/22 at a night club,” reads the post.
With murder cases on the rise, ZRP has continued to urge the public to exercise self restraint when they face disputes or disagreements with friends, relatives or society members.
