Police in Mashonaland Central confirmed the incident. The Acting Provincial acting police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Petros Masikati said
I can confirm that Sango was killed by a crocodile while fishing in the crocodile-infested dam. As police, we urge people not to fish in these crocodile-infested dams as they expose their lives to danger.
