“The deceased had suffered a penetrating injury to the right thoracic region, with additional defensive wounds on his right hand suggesting a violent struggle occurred,” Chinyoka stated.

Investigators noted the victim was dressed in layered clothing – including a long-sleeved shirt, white undershirt, and two pairs of jeans – along with industrial-style black footwear. Personal effects, including $22 USD and ZWG20, were recovered from the victim’s pockets.
