Murder Suspects Nabbed At Healer’s Surgery

In an incident that can easily pass for a Nigerian Nollywood movie, four murder suspects were
recently arrested at a Kwekwe n’anga’s house seeking divine intervention to be shielded from the
crime.

Police confirmed the arrest of Learnmore Chiribani 28, Archford Dube, 20, Marshal Chuma, 19, and
Marvellous Kuchicha, 19 at a healer’s house in Mbizvo, Kwekwe, where the quartet had gone for a
cleansing ceremony to escape law enforcement agents for the alleged murder of Earnest Moyo, 28.

Moyo died at a nightclub in Silobela after being indiscriminately stabbed all over the body with
knives on December 1 allegedly by the quartet over an undisclosed issue.

Police arrested the four after receiving a tip off about the suspected murderers’ presence at the
traditional healer’s residence from members of the public.

They recovered a stash of knives that included a Columbian knife, a VI pin stainless steel kitchen
knife and an okapi knife.

The weapons were stashed in a plastic bag under a block of bricks behind the healer’s house.

Separately, police also confirmed the arrest of Maphios Mativenga, 40, for the suspected murder of
Simbarashe Moyo whose body was found in a Honda Fit which was parked at a deserted homestead
in Mudereri Village, Chief Masunda, Zvishavane.
