Farai Dziva|Masvingo residents have been angered by the fact that local taxi driver Josiah Rimai was brutally murdered near Masvingo Central Police Station.

The alleged killers allegedly bribed workers at Backpackers Lodge before brutally killing Rimai.

After hearing Rimai screaming for help the Backpackers Lodge workers never bothered to alert the police.

The lodge is situated 100 metres from Masvingo Central Police Station.

“We are not happy with the fact that the workers at Backpackers Lodge did not bother to alert the police as Rimai was calling for help.

Above all we expect police officers to be alert,” fumed one taxi driver.
