As the two made their way to another drinking spot, Kubvoruno and his group followed and ambushed them, throwing stones.
Kubvoruno caught up with Sibanda and stabbed him once in the chest causing him to collapse.
When Donga knelt to assist his friend, Kubvoruno stabbed him six times, once on the head and five times on his back before kicking him on the head with a booted foot and fled the scene.
Sibanda died on admission at Mberengwa District Hospital while Donga was treated at Mpilo General Hospital.
