In an unrelated incident, a 41-year-old Gokwe man was robbed of cash by three unknown men who broke into his house during the night.

The incident happened at Ringo Village under Chief Njelele in Gokwe on 12 September around midnight. Said Insp Mahoko:

On 12 September 2021 at about 12am, the complainant Samuel Samu was asleep in his bedroom with his wife.

Three men armed with logs broke into his house and demanded that Samu release cash that was in his house claiming they knew he had sold two beasts on the day.

The robbers went on to assault Samu all over the body using logs leading to the complainant giving them the cash before they disappeared into the darkness.

Insp Mahoko appealed to anyone with information leading to the arrest of the three suspects.

He also appealed to farmers to avoid keeping large sums of money in their houses.
