Hurungwe Triple Murder Suspect Remanded From Hospital

Police have confirmed the arrest of Trymore Tore (37) in connection with three cases of murder which occurred at Mubairacheni Village, Hurungwe on February 16 this year.
Tore, who had earlier been mistakenly reported as having been arrested following the gruesome killing of his wife, niece, and the village head, was finally apprehended on Sunday, February 24.
Police said Tore had been hiding in the dense bushes near his homestead, evading capture for over a week.
In a statement issued this Monday, February 24, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) revealed the dramatic details of Tore’s arrest.
As the officers closed in on his hiding spot, Tore reportedly pulled out an Okapi knife from his pocket and viciously stabbed himself multiple times in the chest and neck, in a desperate attempt to avoid being taken into custody.
Despite his self-inflicted wounds, the police were able to overpower and restrain Tore, placing him under arrest.
He was then taken to Karoi District Hospital, where he is currently receiving medical treatment under heavy guard.
Police have not disclosed the motive behind the brutal killings, but locals said that Tore and the first victim, his wife were having domestic disputes, which may have led to the murders.
It is not clear why Tore killed his niece. She had come to visit and watch a movie and was tragically unaware of the fate that awaited her.
The village head, Kuwesu Musawu (53), was murdered after attempting to mediate a dispute between Tore and his wife.
Tore’s wife, Moline Chibayanzara (21), was found dead in a pit latrine, suffering multiple head injuries, with her body wrapped in a blue blanket.
The second victim, a 17-year-old niece, was discovered approximately 60 meters from Tore’s homestead, bearing a swollen head and a cut on her forehead. Her body was concealed under tree branches, and a knife was recovered nearby.
Musawu’s body was unearthed in a shallow grave behind Tore’s house, with a decapitated head and a deep cut on the neck.
The police issued a statement on Monday confirming the details of Tore’s arrest, which reads as follows:
<blockquote>
The ZRP confirms the arrest of Trymore Tore (37) in connection with three cases of murder which occurred at Mubairacheni Village, Hurungwe on 16/02/25.
The suspect was arrested on 23/02/25 whilst hiding in a bush near his homestead at Mubairacheni Village.
Upon arrest, the suspect withdrew an okapi knife from his pocket and stabbed himself several times on the chest and neck.
The okapi knife was recovered and the suspect is currently admitted at Karoi District Hospital under Police guard.
</blockquote>
Media reports early on Monday had claimed that Tore was arrested in the rural area under Chief Chundu, approximately 70km north of Karoi town, while he was seeking food.

Hurungwe Triple Murderer Hospitalised In Handcuffs, Under Police Guard

A Hurungwe villager, who allegedly murdered his wife, niece, and the village head, has been arrested after being on the run for about a week. The three victims were found dead on February 17, 2025, in Mubairecheni Village, Chundu, Hurungwe.
As reported by <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200038740/hurungwe-triple-murder-suspect-arrested">NewsDay</a>, Trymore Tore (37) was apprehended on Sunday in the rural area under Chief Chundu, approximately 70km north of Karoi town, while he was seeking food.
An alert villager offered him food, pretending to accommodate him, but then alerted neighbours to his presence.
The villagers swamped Tore, and upon realising he was cornered, he attempted to slit his own throat. 
However, he was overpowered, arrested, and later briefly admitted to Chitindiva Clinic under police guard late Sunday night.
Tore will assist the police with investigations before being arraigned in court.
According to Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi, the murders occurred on February 15 and 16, with the bodies discovered on February 17. He said:
<blockquote>
The first victim, 21-year-old Moline Chibayanzara, Tore’s wife, was found dead in a pit latrine, with multiple head injuries.
The second victim was Tore’s 17-year-old niece, and the third victim, Kuwesu Musawu, aged 53, was the village head. Said Commissioner Nyathi:

The third victim, Kuwesu Musawu (53), who was the village head, was discovered buried in a shallow grave behind the suspect’s house with a decapitated head and a deep cut on the neck.
Preliminary investigations by the Police suggest that the suspect and his wife were having consistent domestic disputes, which may have led to the murders.
The suspect and his wife were allegedly heard by villagers quarrelling at their homestead on 15th February 2025.
The third suspect was last seen going to the suspect’s homestead to mediate on a dispute between the couple, while the second suspect was also last seen going to the suspect’s homestead to watch movies on 16th February 2025.

Hurungwe Man Murders Wife, Niece And Village Head

Three members of a Hurungwe family succumbed to poisoning after they were struck by a venomous snake suspected to be a Black Mamba while searching for firewood.
The incident occurred in the Karuru area of Hurungwe district a fortnight ago, but the trio died between Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
The deceased have been identified as Emilia Musiiwa (nee Moyo) aged 47, her daughter Nyarai (21) and grandson Tatenda Tototo (15).
The late Emilia’s husband, Tapiwa Musiiwa told NewZimbabwe.com that the deaths dealt him a heavy blow. He said:
<blockquote>
The incident has left me devastated.
The three were looking for firewood when the snake bit Nyarai, prompting her mother to try and scare away the creature but it also attacked her.
Sensing danger, our grandson Tatenda tried to run away but the snake pursued him and striked.
The three victims were taken to hospital for treatment, but unfortunately the boy died at Chinhoyi Provincial Hospital yesterday (Tuesday) while my wife and daughter passed on at Sally Mugabe Hospital (formerly Harare Hospital) in Harare today (Wednesday).
</blockquote>
A local funeral parlour pledged to ferry the bodies to Karuru Ward 8, Hurungwe for burial Thursday.
Experts say when one is bitten by a black mamba, first aid should focus on maintaining vital functions, such as respiratory support. The victim should be kept still and try to limit any unnecessary movement.

Black Mamba Kills Three Family Members

A resident of Hurungwe in Mashonaland West province, Vincent Chigwedere (47) was recently acquitted on charges of undermining the authority of or insulting President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Chigwedere appeared before Kariba Magistrate Tendai Banda on charges of undermining the authority of or insulting President Mnangagwa as defined in Section 33(2)(b) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.
According to the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), prosecutors alleged that Chigwedere impaired the image of President Mnangagwa when he unlawfully and intentionally made an obscene and indecent statement concerning the President.
He is alleged to have made the remarks during a verbal altercation over a land ownership dispute.
Chigwedere was, however, discharged at the close of the prosecution case by Magistrate Banda, who ruled that prosecutors had failed to establish a prima facie case against him.
He was represented by Unite Saizi of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights.

Hurungwe Man Set Free For Insulting Mnangagwa

ZANU PF members and MDC Alliance supporters were involved in violent clashes at Zvipani Business Centre in Hurungwe, Mashonaland West on Wednesday ahead of a planned visit by MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa.
MDC Alliance provincial spokesperson, Blessing Mandava told NewZimbabwe.com, that ZANU PF supporters were trying to disrupt Chamisa’s scheduled public address.
He said five MDC Alliance members, including national Women’s Assembly official Mordester Majinjiwa (who was attacked with a bottle), were injured in the violence. Said Mandava:
<blockquote>
A group of ZANU PF elements came to Zvipani and started beating up our members who were singing and merry-making while awaiting president Chamisa to deliver his address.
There was chaos as we fought running battles with the rogue ZANU PF members who sparked violence unprovoked to try and disrupt the people’s president from meeting with villagers who had turned out in large numbers.
</blockquote>
He said state security agents were heavily deployed along the Harare-Chirundu highway while suspected ZANU PF members also barricaded roads. Said Mandava:
<blockquote>
MDC Alliance president Chamisa’s motorcade encountered many hurdles along the way. Besides being trailed by Central intelligence Organisation (CIO) operatives everywhere we went, roads were blocked using rocks and logs, especially at Nhari.
</blockquote>
At Nyabira, ZANU PF hastily arranged an anti-sanctions march to distract people’s attention from Chamisa’s tour, while at Chinhoyi, police officers could be seen chasing away vendors, believed to be Chamisa sympathisers.
ZANU PF supporters in Masvingo and Manicaland employed similar dirty tactics against Chamisa when he toured the provinces recently.

ZANU PF Members Block Chamisa Entourage In Hurungwe

MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa on Wednesday took his “citizens tour” to Mashonaland West Province, with the party reporting more incidents of politically-motivated violence.
The MDC-A last week claimed that Chamisa escaped a suspected assassination attempt in Mutare, having previously come under siege in Masvingo where his convoy was stoned by ZANU PF supporters and roads were blocked ahead of his visit.
MDC Alliance provincial chairman, Ralph Magunje and his executive reportedly met at the party’s offices in Chinhoyi to make logistical arrangements ahead of the presidential hopeful’s visit.
In <a href="https://twitter.com/mdcmashwest/status/1453392733486387201?s=20">posts on Twitter</a> this Wednesday, the MDC Alliance said in Hurungwe, a Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) official named Batsi, who was driving an Isuzu vehicle, registration number ADL8964, was seen driving around venues for Chamisa’s interface meetings.
One Franco Ndambakuhwa is alleged to have bussed in ZANU PF militia using his white truck reg no ACY6670 seeking “to bulldoze the venues”, according to the MDC Alliance.
The opposition party also alleged that at Zvipani in Hurungwe, Munyaradzi Ngandini a ZANU PF member beat up five people injuring Mai Chambati, an MDC Alliance member in the process.
In Magunje, the ruling party sent its militias to barricade the road with placards. They stoned several cars and many people got injured, the MDC Alliance further alleged.
Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/trailblazing-chamisa-takes-roadshow-to-mash-west/">NewZimbabwe.com</a> reported sources as saying that State security agents were put on high alert ahead of the MDC Alliance president’s highly-anticipated visit.
Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) operatives, military and police intelligence agents were heavily deployed in areas such as Nyabira and Banket, where ZANU PF activists are reportedly planning to cause drama.

Chamisa Takes 'Citizens Tour' To Mash West

Retired Colonel Patrick Tawona Maponga was found dead at his home in Magunje on Tuesday morning. He was 60.
Maponga was a veteran of Zimbabwe’s war of independence. He lost his wife early this year.
According to a Hurungwe war veteran member, Don Nxele, the late Maponga was among freedom fighters who took the land reform seriously.
He said Maponga was first allocated a plot at the Nassau Farm near Karoi in 2001, but later moved to Mshowe Pools in Hurungwe East constituency in 2003. Said Nxele:
<blockquote>
I remember that he was among the few freedom fighters who took farming as a business. In 2004, he hosted African senior army officers who wanted to understand how the land reform was benefitting indigenous people at Mshowe Pools Farm.
Some came from Egypt, South Africa, Namibia and other Southern Africa countries. By then, he was into wheat and maize production.
Of late, Maponga had ventured into cattle rearing, horticulture, poultry and crocodile farming.
</blockquote>
Maponga joined the liberation struggle at a tender age and was trained in Tanzania. He rose through the ranks to become an instructor in Mozambique before independence.
He was integrated into the Zimbabwe National Army soon after independence. He was among the soldiers deployed in Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of Congo as an instructor.
At one time, he was deployed at Magunje 2.3 Infantry Battalion before he voluntarily retired in 1997.
Burial arrangements are still yet to be announced.
He is survived by eight children.

Retired Army Colonel Found Dead

Karoi residents inundated Karoi Hospital and other health facilities in Hurungwe District at the weekend to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as the coronavirus wrecks havoc in Mashonaland West Province.
The government last month declared Hurungwe, Kariba and Makonde as COVID-19 hotspots and put them under localised lockdowns.
Hurungwe District medical officer Munyaradzi Wilbur Chidaushe on Monday told NewsDay that people from nearby farms and villages have responded well to the vaccination drive. He said:
<blockquote>We expect the demand to keep increasing as citizens heed the call by the government to get vaccinated.</blockquote>
Kariba district medical officer Godwin Muza said there was also a huge demand for the life-saving vaccines in the resort town, but health authorities are yet to get more supplies of the doses after previous supplies ran out.
Members of the public are also reportedly coming for the jab in droves in Makonde District, which incorporates Chinhoyi.
Chinhoyi municipality is inviting residents to get immunised at its clinics in Mzari, Chikonohono, Gadzema and Alaska.

Stampede For COVID-19 Jabs In Mash West

A 49-year-old Hurungwe man is lucky to be alive after surviving a lion attack in Chirundu last month.
Isa Chitenje narrated his encounter with the big cat during a live show on Star Fm radio with Tilder Moyo where he sensationally claimed that he shoved his hand into the lion’s mouth during the attack to avoid being torn to pieces.
In an interview with H-Metro this week, Chitenje, a gardener attached to Tiger Safaris in Mujinga Village, Hurungwe said he was yet to recover from the wounds he suffered during the attack on 13 May this year. He said:
<blockquote>It is only by the grace of the Lord that I survived and I would like to thank my fellow workers Thomas Dzamba, Takesure Dzamba and Amos Dzamba who heard my cry and rushed to scare the lion when it was dragging me into the bush.
I was on my way from Chirundu shopping centre going home at around 6 pm when the lion attacked me.
I do not know how I thought of forcing my hand into its mouth and that reduced its strength and I shouted for help.
It scratched most parts of my body with its jaws and upon seeing people it left me and disappeared into the bush.
It is my prayer that I respond well to the treatment I am receiving but I am facing challenges in meeting the medical bills.</blockquote>
Chitenje is a father of four and a follower of the Gorejena Apostolic Faith Church.

Outspoken Norton legislator Temba Mliswa was yesterday arrested for the same offense he was arrested for less than a fortnight ago, hosting a public event against the government’s COVID-19 restrictions prohibiting gatherings during the national lockdown.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has dismissed claims that the late MDC Alliance councillor Lavender Chiwaya was murdered.
In a statement, police national spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said postmortem results indicated Chiwaya was not murdered. The statement read:
<blockquote>The police want to make it clear that the postmortem results have ruled out any assault, physical harm or any body perforation on Lavender Chiwaya. The police are now awaiting toxicology tests to get full facts on the cause of death.
The police are still pursuing allegations of alcohol abuse and girlfriends which were raised during the course of investigations into Lavender Chiwaya’s death.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police implores the public to allow the investigations to proceed smoothly and those with information to contact the investigating officer.</blockquote>
Chiwaya was the councillor for Hurungwe Ward 4. His body was found last week on Friday, four houses away from his home.
The MDC Alliance immediately claimed he was murdered by suspected state agents.
Chiwaya was buried last Wednesday in Karoi under heavy police presence.
