Kadoma CBD shortly came to a standstill yesterday afternoon as cars were speeding and hooting with ladies of the night singing and chanting obscene messages as a way of paying their last respects to a local hooker who was recently found murdered in her house by a suspected client.
The deceased identified by police as Bridget Envarator Karonga of Katumba Street, Rimuka was buried at Empress in Kadoma.
Police recently launched man hunt for a suspect who murdered the 25-year-old woman in cold blood.
Mashonaland West provincial police spokesperson Inspector Clemence Mabgweazara said on April 24, at around 11pm, Karonga was spotted at Rumwe Shopping Centre in the company of an unidentified man, who was wearing a green T-shirt and khaki pair of trousers.
The two then reportedly went to Karonga’s house for a night of intimacy.
They were also seen by fellow tenant, Rutherford Gambinya entering the house.
Police said, when Gambinya went to the toilet later that evening, he observed a trail of blood along the passage, stretching from the house’s main door, leading to Karonga’s room.
Gambinya then alerted neighbours who then tried to break the door, but failed and reported the matter to the police.
A police reaction team attended the scene and forced-open the door only to find Karonga lying dead in a pool of blood.
Her body, which was riddled with stab wounds on the chest, was then conveyed to Kadoma Hospital mortuary for a postmortem.
A blood-stained kitchen knife was recovered at the crime scene.
