A 74-YEAR-OLD Guruve man allegedly drank poisoned opaque beer and died on the spot while planning the payment of lobola for his brother’s daughter on Sunday.

Job Mujeri of Chimanikire village died after he drank a super Chibuku bottle which he got from his younger brother Leon Mujeri (43).

Mashonaland Central deputy police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Naison Dhliwayo confirmed the case.

“I can confirm a sudden death case in Guruve where Job Mujeri died after drinking a suspected poisoned super Chibuku he got from his brother Leon and we are currently investigating the matter,” Dhliwayo said.

Allegations are that Job went to his brother’s homestead for a family discussion since Leon’s daughter was about to be married.

Leon gave his brother a bottle of Chibuku which he drank alone.

After drinking the Chibuku he started vomiting blood and died in a toilet.

Police warned people to respect human life and avoid food poisoning.
