Reports indicate that the victim, Kisto Manyause, met a gruesome end when he was stabbed with an Okapi knife in both shoulders. The motive behind this heinous act has ties to a complicated love triangle, as the suspect and the victim were both dating the same teenager, who is just 15 years old. This shocking revelation has only deepened the mystery and complexity of the case.

The Mberengwa community remains in shock and disbelief as they grapple with the violence that has entered their lives. The police have been diligently conducting investigations into this case, and further details will likely emerge as the legal process unfolds.

The victim’s children, a 6-year-old son and an 8-month-old daughter, were also found at the scene, further compounding the tragedy. It has been revealed that the woman and her children had traveled from Nhowe, Norton, with the intention of selling fish at the farm. The reasons behind this gruesome act remain unclear, and the police are actively pursuing leads to unravel the mystery.
