A 25-year-old man from Masvingo allegedly fatally struck a fellow villager with an iron bar following a misunderstanding over the use of his step mother's wheelbarrow, police confirmed yesterday.
Masvingo police spokesperson Inspector Peter Zhanero said the incident happened on Saturday at about 9am.
He identified the deceased as Anania Ringanai (30) of Chinoera Village.
He said the body of the deceased was taken to Silveira Mission Hospital mortuary for post-morterm.
The suspect, Munyaradzi Gepe of the same village was arrested and is assisting police with investigations.
"Gepe is in police custody assisting with investigations. He would appear in court soon facing murder charges," he said.
He said on the fateful day, Ringanai met Gepe at the homestead of Ms Eugene Rungano of the same village.
Gepe was carrying stones using a wheelbarrow belonging to Ringanai's stepmother, Ms Tsungayi Chiramba.
"Upon coming closer to him, Ringanai, without due warning, slapped Gepe on the face accusing him of misusing his stepmother's wheelbarrow. Sensing danger, Gepe ran away but Ringanai was in hot pursuit until he caught up with him," he said.
Insp Zhanero said after Ringanai caught up with Gepe the pair engaged into a fight resulting in the latter picking an iron bar before striking his victim.
"He struck him on the head with an iron bar before fleeing. Ringanai then came back staggering towards the wheelbarrow and collapsed.
"Ms Rungano and a fellow villager, Ms Susan Mhungu rushed to the scene intending to render first aid but found Ringanai already dead," he said.
"He could have sustained internal injuries. The matter was reported to the police leading to Gepe's arrest following a manhunt" he said.
