A Harare man is on the run after he allegedly stabbed to death another man he accused of stealing his plate of sadza on Friday.

Brighton Nyamukapira reportedly killed Edward Goto (38) at a car park in Warren Park D, Harare.

“The suspect accused the victim of stealing sadza before he allegedly stabbed the victim once on the neck with a sharp object at a car park in Warren Park D, Harare, on 12 April 2024.”

Separately, Asst Comm Nyathi appealed for information that may lead to the identification of a man whose decomposing body was found in Kuwadzana 5 Paddocks on Friday.

The body was taken to Sally Mugabe Hospital mortuary.

“Members of the public missing their relative or anyone with information (are urged) to report at Kuwadzana Police Station,” he said.

The man was wearing maroon trousers, a cream jacket and had no shoes.

The body is currently at Chitungwiza Hospital mortuary.
