Family, relatives, neighbours and friends gathered at Mukuwo Village, Chikombedzi for a funeral suddenly found themselves turned into victims and witnesses at a deadly crime scene.

According to the Zimbabwe Republic Police, the funeral turned into a real-life horror flick on August 3 when an “unknown suspect,” emerged from the shadows and stabbed Sithokozile Siwawa, 46, in full view of the mourners.

Three other mourners who bravely tried to intervene ended up on the casualty list themselves stabbed in the chaos. The suspect then disappeared into the night.

Two of the injured heroes were sent to Chikombedzi Mission Hospital while the third one had to be ferried to Masvingo General.

As always, ZRP urges anyone with information to report to the nearest police station.
