A woman was fatally assaulted after refusing to call it a day at a local bar in Trenance.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) confirmed that on 15 January Khethiwe Moyo (61) was physically assaulted with open hands and a sjambok in a bushy area in Trenance Suburb by Stewart Munyapwa (32) who has since been arrested for the murder.
“The suspect fatally assaulted the victim, Khethiwe Moyo (61) with open hands and a sjambok while on their way home from a local bar after a drinking binge.”
The Police statement revealed that the two had a heated argument after Moyo refused to go back home as she wanted to continue drinking at the bar until the wee hours of the morning.
In a related matter on the same day the 15th of this month ZRP reports that Patrick Ngulube (52) was arrested for allegedly murdering Khauhelo Sibanda.
Sibanda who was Ngulube’s ex-wife was fatally struck with a sharp object that police have not yet not identified.
The incident happened during the night at Zimbili B, Gadade Village, Fort Rixon Matabeleland South.
The police statement states that Ngulube pounced at ex-wife Sibanda’s house and fatally struck her.
The motive of the murder has not been established.
Murder cases have been on the increase lately. Gone are the days when human beings respected the sanctity of life.
In the case if the Trenance suburb murder, what baffles the mind is the fact that the government enforced a curfew running from 10pm to 5am in line with Covid-19 regulations, bars and drinking places are supposed to be closed by then. How then does a bar in a small suburban area of Trenance open into the wee hours if the morning?
What are the law enforcers doing about such bars? How come such a bar opens until late right under the nose of the police?
After all Trenance is a small suburb bringing such bars into book would be quite achievable if more effort was to be placed by the ZRP policing the area.
