“Without warning, three armed assailants emerged from the darkness,” stated police spokesperson Inspector Chiratidzo Dube. “One attacker delivered a fatal machete blow to the back of Moyo’s head as he was pushing the vehicle.”

The victim attempted to flee but collapsed approximately 100 meters from the scene. Ngwenya reportedly engaged in a violent struggle with the attackers, sustaining severe hand injuries while managing to wrestle a weapon away before escaping.

Moyo’s body was discovered at 6 AM by a passerby who immediately alerted authorities. “The deceased had sustained a catastrophic head wound and was identified by family members,” Inspector Dube confirmed during a press briefing.

Local residents expressed profound distress over the incident, with many now hesitant to stop for nighttime emergencies.
