In a shocking incident that unfolded in Mbizo 15 suburb of Kwekwe, the grieving relatives of Sylvester Ncube who was tragically killed near his girlfriend’s house took his lifeless body on a disturbing parade last week.

The family aimed to confront the girlfriend and her neighbors, whom they believed were responsible for what they described as premature and unnecessary death.

According to the police, Ncube died at Kwekwe General Hospital following injuries sustained after he was allegedly assaulted by Phillip Luthuli (22) and Shepherd Mafukidze who mistook him for a thief after he knocked on their door after her girlfriend who is the duo’s neighbor had not responded to his knock.

The corpse parade incident generated commotion as the relatives carried it through the neighborhood, drawing attention from onlookers and residents. Eyewitnesses reported a mix of shock, disbelief, and curiosity as the grief-stricken family made their way around Mbizo 15.

According to the grieving family, the deceased man had allegedly been mistaken for a thief by his girlfriend and the neighbors, leading to his untimely demise. Their demonstration viewed the act as a means of seeking justice and holding those they perceived as accountable responsible for their loss.

As the procession continued, tensions rose among community members, with some demanding an explanation from the accused girlfriend and her neighbors.

Efforts to get a comment from the girlfriend yielded no results.
