A 40-year-old Chitungwiza man was beaten to death by a mob after being caught breaking into a parked vehicle in Zengeza 1.

Last Kandishaya was spotted breaking the windscreen of a Toyota Hiace at a house along Bise Street.

He was caught by Tawanda Kawondera, 31, and Walter Munjeya, 31, and a mob, who beat him to death.

Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, said Kandishaya’s body was taken to Chitungwiza General Hospital mortuary where it’s awaiting a post-mortem.

“Police in Chitungwiza arrested two suspects in connection with a murder case involving a man reported to have been assaulted in Zengeza,” said Insp Chakanza.

“The now deceased was reported to have unlawfully entered one of the suspects’ yard. 

“While inside the yard, the now deceased was alleged to have broken the windscreen of a parked Toyota Hiace and was seen by the second accused person who called for assistance.
