A Zengeza landlord teamed up with four other people in assaulting his tenant to death over rentals.
Crispen Marara, is on the run after allegedly murdering Tendai Nenguwo.
Sometime in January, Tendai collected US$560 from all tenants at Mararaโs parentsโ house along Hanga Street in Zengeza 1 and converted it to own use.
This did not go down well with Marara, who allegedly hired four men and assaulted Tendai several times all over the body with a broom stick and fists.
He was admitted at Chitungwiza Central Hospital where he died on Sunday.
He was 38.
Harare provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza confirmed the case appealing for information that may lead to the arrest of Marara and his accomplices.
โPolice are investigating a murder case in Zengeza.
โThe deceased was reported to have used the money of the accused person.
โThe deceased passed on while admitted at Chitungwiza Central Hospital on April 13,โ said Insp Chakanza.
The deceasedโs sister Yvette Masango said Tendai said they expect to burry him in Chihota village tomorrow.
โWe lost a loving brother.
โAfter the assault he was always complaining of chest pains.
โHe told me that he was reluctant to lodge a report with the police since he was the one at fault.
โHe was evicted from the house over unpaid rentals.
โHe is survived by two children and the eldest is in Grade 7,โ said Yvette.
