Hurungwe Triple Murder Suspect Remanded From Hospital

Police have confirmed the arrest of Trymore Tore (37) in connection with three cases of murder which occurred at Mubairacheni Village, Hurungwe on February 16 this year.
Tore, who had earlier been mistakenly reported as having been arrested following the gruesome killing of his wife, niece, and the village head, was finally apprehended on Sunday, February 24.
Police said Tore had been hiding in the dense bushes near his homestead, evading capture for over a week.
In a statement issued this Monday, February 24, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) revealed the dramatic details of Tore’s arrest.
As the officers closed in on his hiding spot, Tore reportedly pulled out an Okapi knife from his pocket and viciously stabbed himself multiple times in the chest and neck, in a desperate attempt to avoid being taken into custody.
Despite his self-inflicted wounds, the police were able to overpower and restrain Tore, placing him under arrest.
He was then taken to Karoi District Hospital, where he is currently receiving medical treatment under heavy guard.
Police have not disclosed the motive behind the brutal killings, but locals said that Tore and the first victim, his wife were having domestic disputes, which may have led to the murders.
It is not clear why Tore killed his niece. She had come to visit and watch a movie and was tragically unaware of the fate that awaited her.
The village head, Kuwesu Musawu (53), was murdered after attempting to mediate a dispute between Tore and his wife.
Tore’s wife, Moline Chibayanzara (21), was found dead in a pit latrine, suffering multiple head injuries, with her body wrapped in a blue blanket.
The second victim, a 17-year-old niece, was discovered approximately 60 meters from Tore’s homestead, bearing a swollen head and a cut on her forehead. Her body was concealed under tree branches, and a knife was recovered nearby.
Musawu’s body was unearthed in a shallow grave behind Tore’s house, with a decapitated head and a deep cut on the neck.
The police issued a statement on Monday confirming the details of Tore’s arrest, which reads as follows:

Hurungwe Man Murders Wife, Niece And Village Head

A 33-year-old woman named Siphiwe Ndlovu died in hospital after allegedly being assaulted by her husband and subsequently jumping from the third-floor window of their apartment at Burombo Flats in Bulawayo on Saturday night.
Witnesses claimed that the couple had been struggling financially, a situation that may have led to repeated instances of gender-based violence in their home.
Ndlovu succumbed to her injuries at Mpilo Central Hospital on Sunday, a day after her fall. Her husband, Meluleki Ndlovu, 44, has since been arrested and is facing murder charges. He was due to appear in court on Tuesday.
According to a neighbour of the couple who spoke to <a href="https://cite.org.zw/woman-dies-after-fall-from-flat-during-marital-dispute/">CITE</a> on the condition of anonymity, a heated argument was heard from the couple’s flat around 10 PM.
Meluleki was reportedly confronting his wife over a phone number he had found on her phone. Said the source:
<blockquote>
The argument started around 10 PM. The husband demanded answers about a number he had seen on his wife’s phone.
An hour later, she fell from the window of their flat, landing on the ground below. She broke her leg and sustained other injuries. She was taken to hospital, but sadly, she died yesterday afternoon.
</blockquote>
Acting Bulawayo Police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Nomalanga Msebele confirmed the incident. She said:
<blockquote>
Police confirm the arrest of Meluleki Ndlovu a male adult aged 44 of Burombo flats Bulawayo in connection with a murder case of his wife Siphiwe Ndlovu a female adult aged 33.
</blockquote>
According to Msebele, Meluleki assaulted Siphiwe inside their locked flat. To escape, she stepped onto a sofa and jumped out of the window. She added:
<blockquote>
She fell and landed on her stomach whilst still holding keys to the house in her right hand. She sustained a fractured right leg, swollen stomach and was bleeding from the nose and mouth.
A neighbour who saw her falling took the keys from the now deceased’s hand and unlocked the door for the accused to come out.
Upon realising that the now deceased was injured, the accused person called an ambulance and took her to Mpilo Central Hospital where she was admitted in a serious condition.
</blockquote>
The deceased’s aunt, Patience Phiri, told the <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/woman-jumps-to-death/">Chronicle</a> that the family faced financial hardship, as both the husband and wife were unemployed. She said:
<blockquote>
Meluleki was self-employed and transported client goods in a push cart around the Renkini Bus Terminus area and my niece occasionally did piece jobs such as doing laundry and cleaning other people’s houses.
The family struggled financially and to add to that the husband drank heavily. The financial situation in their home could have been the reason Meluleki beat his wife a lot.
</blockquote>
Phiri added that the couple had been together for about 10 years and had a nine-year-old daughter. She said:
<blockquote>
My niece was naked when she fell from that window and I’m here to pack some clothes so that we can dress her body at the mortuary.
The funeral wake will be held at our family home in Mzilikazi and family members have started gathering there.
She was killed like an animal and we will make sure that her death is avenged.
