A night of drinking at a Checheche nightclub ended in tragedy when a beer-fuelled argument spiralled into a brutal killing on August 7, 2025.
According to police, Wilton Dube (35) allegedly unleashed a savage attack on the victim, punching her repeatedly before snatching a piece of broken glass and stabbing her in the stomach. Witnesses say the altercation erupted after a quarrel over beer.
The victim was rushed to a local hospital but could not survive the deep wound and internal injuries. Police in Chipinge swiftly moved in, arresting Dube in connection with the murder.
While Manicaland was still reeling from the shocking killing, disaster struck again the following day. At the 48-kilometre peg along the Nyanga–Rwenya Road, an Isuzu KB single cab carrying seven passengers veered off the road, overturned, and crashed onto its right side.
Three people died instantly, while five others suffered injuries. The deceased were taken to Nyanga District Hospital for post-mortem, and the injured remain admitted at the same facility.
Police have urged the public to shun violence, settle disputes peacefully, and practise extreme caution on the roads, warning that reckless behaviour continues to claim innocent lives in the province.
