By Own Correspondent| Fears over the health of former police boss, Gen. Augustine Chihuri were raised Friday night after a well known close source claimed he has died.

The report from the reliable source who would not be named as they claimed “sensitive disclosure,” took social networks by storm on Friday night.

Chihuri has been unwell in the last 18 months.

The man briefly disappeared mid November last year at the time of the coup and then resurfaced around the time of Robert Mugabe’s resignation.

He later on disappeared when Parliament began investigative hearings on his alleged role in the 15 billion diamond scam.

The parliamentary committee’s chairman Temba Mliswa was told Chihuri was during the week hospitalised and struggling with his health in Malawi.
