A road rage incident ended in tragedy after a Bulawayo motorist died several weeks after he was assaulted all over his body by two men driving a Toyota Quantum along the Zvishavane-Mbalabala Road.
The assailants accused the now-deceased Never Sibanda (33) of causing an accident that resulted in them hitting a cow.
The incident happened on April 17 but Sibanda died on Monday, 30 May 2022, from the injuries sustained in the attack.
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) national spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said they are conducting investigations into the matter. He said:
Police in Bulawayo are investigating a murder case in which Never Sibanda (33) died on May 30, 2022, after he was assaulted with booted feet and fists all over the body by Anesu Chimanikire (33) and his accomplice, who is still at large, on April 17, 2022, along Zvishavane-Mbalabala road.
The suspect and his accomplice accused the victim of causing a road traffic accident in which the suspect, who was driving a Toyota Quantum vehicle, hit a heifer along the road.
The complainant, who was driving a Mazda Bongo vehicle, had stopped along the road and turned on hazard lights to allow the cattle to cross, but the suspect did not stop and hit the crossing beasts.
