A FORM Three pupil at Founders High School in Bulawayo died during suspected teenage gang violence after an alcohol binge and his
assailants dumped his body in a bushy area near Nketa High School in Nketa 8 suburb.
The body of Prichard Ndlovu (16) from Bulawayo’s Nkulumane suburb was discovered on Tuesday afternoon by a caretaker at Nketa High School who notified the police.
Police then informed the boy’s relatives who had already filed a missing persons report when he did not return home on Saturday.
The boy’s body was found a walking distance from his home.
The Chronicle yesterday visited Prichard’s family home and gathered that he lived with his younger siblings as their parents are based in South Africa.
Prichard’s aunt Ms Maenni Ndlovu said he could have been stabbed and dumped by a rival teenage gang.
Ms Ndlovu, who lives in another suburb said she was shocked to learn from Prichard’s father who contacted her on Monday from
the neighbouring country saying his son was missing and had last been seen being pursued by a gang.
Ms Ndlovu said it appears there were
skirmishes involving three gangs.Chronicle
