One of the murder suspect Marvellous is said to have gone to the nearby shopping centre where he bragged that he had stabbed the now deceased three times and left him for dead.
Councillor Rhonath Sibanda lamented that cases of murder are increasing in his ward, especially among the unemployed youths whom he said are now resorting to using dangerous weapons to attack each other.
