Police in Harare are investigating the killing of a man identified as Brian Nandana, who went missing in the early hours of Thursday after reportedly completing an inDrive trip around 3am.
According to preliminary reports, Nandana was later found dead after a search operation led investigators to a secluded area in Warren Park. Authorities say the discovery followed the arrest of a suspect believed to be a close acquaintance of the deceased.
Police sources allege that the suspect was apprehended in the afternoon after attempting to evade arrest, prompting officers to fire warning shots. He is said to have later led detectives to the location where Nandana’s body had been concealed.
