By James Gwati-Two men from Bulawayo’s Pumula South suburb have been arrested for killing their neighbour whom they had accused of stealing their clothes from a washing line.

Bulawayo provincial spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube told the state media that they have arrested Farai Fero(40) and Fortune Ngwenya(30) on allegations of murdering their neighbour Blessing Zikhali (30).
He said the two allegedly fatally assaulted Zikhali whom they accused of stealing clothes belonging to Sithole from their washing line. After allegedly beating Zikhali, the two men escorted him to ZRP Pumula station where police called an ambulance to take him to the hospital.

“The now deceased was with his girlfriend at his place of residence when the two came and asked him to go to Ngwenya’s place. When they got there, the two men alleged that Zikhali had stolen clothes from the washing line earlier that day and an argument arose.”
