A Guruve businesswoman was hospitalised on Tuesday after being shot and robbed by three unknown assailants.
Partner Muchekeche (28) was admitted to Guruve hospital for medication.
Mashonaland Central deputy police spokesperson Sergeant Major Samuel Chikasha confirmed the robbery. He told Bulawayo24:
Two robbers allegedly entered in Muchekeche’s room and demanded cash while one remained outside.
One of the robbers grabbed her by the collar and demanded cash before threatening to assault her.
Fearing for her life she surrendered US$140 and they demanded more.
It is further alleged that the hardware owner also surrendered a black purse containing $130.
Her mother Everlyn Muchekeche heard some noise in her daughter’s room and she got outside to see robbers.
She shouted for help and the suspects opened fire on Partner before disappearing in the dark.
