Kadoma man kills cousin in mining dispute

A Kadoma man has been arrested by police on allegations of stabbing his cousin to death with a knife
following a mining dispute.

In a statement, police said the suspect, Samson Katsuro (50), was arrested in connection with a case of murder which occurred on January 17 in Sanyati.

Katsuro allegedly stabbed Peter Katsuro (29) indiscriminately all over the body using a Colombian knife, resulting in the victim dying on the spot.

In a related matter in Mutare, police are appealing for information which may assist in the investigation of the murder of a man at a night club in Dangamvura Area 14 on January 13.

He was assaulted with an iron bar by unknown suspects, and died three days later at Victoria Chitepo hospital from injuries sustained. In Karoi, police said Gift Bento (26) and Tinashe Mbishi (22) had been
arrested in connection with a case of robbery which occurred on 16 January this year at Jongwe Mine, Nyamahape. It is alleged that the duo stole two mobile phones, a mini-digital gold scale, a satchel and some clothes at the mine before disappearing.

“The suspects were later apprehended by members of the community at Nyangomba shops after the complainant had identified them. The arrest led to the recovery of the stolen items, a machete and an axe,” said the police.
