15-year-old male suspect charged with murder of his elder brother

PPC Sitai says, “Whilst drinking, an argument broke out between the brothers. The elder brother (deceased) stepped in to try to stop them, but unfortunately the accused turned around and stabbed him.”

Superintendent Sitai condemned the brutal incident.

“Such incident is uncalled for and I would like to appeal to leaders and fathers to be mindful of your actions as it sometimes leads to victimising the lives of innocent immediate family members,” Superintendent Sitai says.

Mr Sitai appeals to relatives to stay away from retaliation and allow police to continue with its investigations.

Police are appealing to members of the community in and around Marunga village who might have information to come forward and assist police with investigation. The accused will appear before Kirakira Principle Magistrates’ Court on a later date.

Police Kirakira can be contacted on 50299 or 50266.
