“On 15 February 2023, Ncube and Sikhangisiwe were walking home together with Ncube’s young brother, Obvious Mpofu aged 12. Obvious went home, leaving the two walking slowly. The two did not reach their respective homes, leading to the community embarking on a search,” said Insp Mahoko.

Ncube’s body was found lying along the Gokwe-Kwekwe highway with multiple stab wounds at the back of the head and bruises on the arms, Insp Mahoko said, adding that Sikhangisiwe was found lying next to the body crying.
