Blood stains covered her body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The relatives promptly reported the incident to the police, but the attackers remain at large and are still yet to be identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Carrying dangerous weapons is prohibited. People should desist from violence and seek help from third parties in cases of differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Police is seeking for information that may lead to the arrest of the accused persons,” said Inspector Abednico Ncube, the Zim GBC News \u00a92024<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nkosentsha Khumalo The streets of Bulawayo were painted in blood this past weekend as three vicious and unprovoked attacks left innocent citizens fighting for their lives.
