Cases of children dying in car boots have become cause for concern, as this has been happening for some time.
Meanwhile, as if that was not enough, to more children this time from a Pre-school in Chiredzi allegedly suffocated to death after the owner allegedly forgot them in a Honda Fit trunk where she had told them to sit this Tuesday morning.
Masvingo Provincial Police spokesperson, Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the incident to ZBC News.
Dhewa said Mrs Javangwe later discovered that she had forgotten four children she had put in the car trunk around 10am when she was about to clean the car.
