Two people have been murdered in separate incidents in Harare over the weekend.

One of the victims was a petrol attendant at a local service station in Eastlea while the other victim is from Mabvuku.

A 22 year old man was last night murdered in Eastlea and was allegedly dumped at an apostolic sect church near a stream.

Residence discovered the body of the young man and identified him early this morning.

The victim is alleged to have been stabbed more than three times on his neck and his clothes were taken.

Less than 400 meters from the crime scene, the ZBC crew saw a cap, one shoe and blood suggesting that there was another person who was attacked.

Residence revealed that a number of people have fallen victim to robbery and mugging.

Cases of murder are a sign of lack of respect to the sanctity of human life.

This comes as the world is moving towards abolishment of capital punishment.
