After a shootout with police yesterday in Nyatsime, Chitungwiza, a suspected armed robber passed away.
Godfrey Njoromore, the suspect, passed away upon admission at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals in Harare following injuries he sustained during the gunfight, according to Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, the spokesperson for the national police.
Following a robbery at a house in Zengeza 5, Chitungwiza on December 2 last year three cellphones, two laptops, and US$8, 164 in valuables were taken, among other items. This led to the encounter.
One suspect, Benjamin Chipiri, was apprehended by the public and handed over to the police while the other two suspects escaped.
Chipiri later implicated Njoromore.
“On January 6, 2024 detectives from CID Homicide acted on received information and tracked Godfrey Njoromore to Nyatsime, Chitungwiza where he was shot on the thigh after trying to evade arrest,” Nyathi said in a statement yesterday.
