GOKWE- A tragic Incident unfolded in Gokwe North district on June 21, 2025 where a man lost his life over a dispute involving a $60.
Midlands Provincial Police Spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko confirmed the incident. He said the altercation escalated into a violent confrontation between Jetro Siyamusandana (21) and Tinos Machaya who unfortunately died from the stab wounds.
“Zimbabwe Republic Police confirms a case of murder which occurred at Madhamu Business Centre under Chief Siyamuchembo in Gokwe North on 21 June, 2025,” he said.
According to Mahoko, it is alleged that Siyamusandana and Machaya were both drinking beer at the shopping centre when Siyamusandana suddenly accused Machaya of having stolen his wallet containing USD60.
A misunderstanding arose between the two resulting in Siyamusandana stabbing Machaya all over the body.
Machaya failed to get treatment due to financial constraints and died at his homestead the following day.
Mahoko appealed to members of the public to assist with information about the whereabouts of Siyamusandana who is at large.
“The suspect is at large and we are appealing to members of the public who might have information about his whereabouts to contact their nearest police station.
“We continue to urge members of the public to desist from resorting to violence when resolving disputes,” he said.
