Listen Moyo
Police in Bulawayo are investigating a murder case of a 39 year old man who was fatally stabbed in Makokoba, Bulawayo, on Tuesday following a dispute over a missing cellphone
The incident occurred on 12 August 2025 at around 7:40pm when the now-deceased Melusi Tshuma and his 35 year old uncle had a dispute over a missing cellphone. The dispute reportedly escalated when the uncle accused Tshuma of stealing the device.
“The accussed person Edmore Gabriel Moyo (32), of the same residence, was in his room and overheard the argument. He came out of his room armed with an Okapi knife and stabbed the now deceased twice on the left thigh and fled the scene,” said Insp Msebele.
An ambulance was called, but Tshuma was pronounced dead on the scene by paramedics. His body was taken to the hospital for a post-mortem examination.
Police made a follow-up and arrested Moyo on the 13th of August at around 12:20 a.m., who had returned home.
Police warned the public to refrain from using violence to resolve disputes. ” We warn members of the public against the use of violence and encourage amicable ways of solving disagreements,”.
