HARARE
–
Police
are
investigating
three
murders
in
Hurungwe,
Mashonaland
West,
believed
to
be
the
work
of
a
suspect
who
is
now
in
custody.
Trymore
Tore,
37,
of
Mubairacheni
Village
under
Chief
Chundu
is
accused
of
burying
at
least
two
of
the
bodies
in
his
rubbish
pit.
A
third
was
found
covered
with
tree
branches.
Police
were
called
to
the
village
on
February
17
after
a
woman
reported
that
Tore
had
attempted
to
rape
her.
The
police
investigation
quickly
turned
into
a
murder
probe
after
three
bodies
were
found.
Police
said
Tore,
who
had
a
history
of
abusing
his
wife
Moline
Chibayanzara,
21,
got
into
another
heated
argument
with
her
on
the
evening
of
February
15.
Tore’s
uncle
Kuwesi
Masau,
53,
visited
the
couple
on
the
following
day
and
tried
to
counsel
them.
According
to
police,
sometime
that
afternoon
Tore
asked
his
13-year-old
cousin
who
is
a
neighbour
to
go
to
several
homesteads
in
the
village
and
borrow
a
shovel,
but
he
was
unsuccessful.
When
the
boy
returned,
he
found
Tore
filling
up
his
rubbish
pit
with
a
hoe
but
thought
nothing
of
it.
At
around
5PM
on
February
16,
another
of
Tore’s
cousins
and
neighbour
Anety
Nabwalo,
17,
visited
him
intending
to
watch
movies
and
was
never
seen
again.
Villagers
began
searching
for
the
missing
trio
late
that
night
into
the
morning
of
February
17
when
a
female
villager
confronted
Tore
and
accused
him
of
having
knowledge
of
their
disappearance.
Pleading
his
innocence,
Tore
asked
the
woman
to
accompany
her
to
see
a
prophet.
On
their
way,
he
allegedly
attempted
to
rape
her
and
she
escaped
before
calling
police.
A
police
statement
said:
“On
the
same
day
ZRP
Chundu
Base
attended
the
scene
and
searches
were
conducted
in
the
village.
“Nabwalo’s
body
was
found
covered
with
branches
in
a
bush
about
60
meters
from
her
homestead
and
beside
the
body
was
a
knife
and
a
pair
of
black
panties.”
The
rubbish
pit
was
dug
up
and
the
remains
of
Tore’s
wife
Chibayanzara
and
his
uncle
Masau
were
uncovered.
Tore
faces
three
counts
of
murder.
