Zim Now Writer

Police have arrested two suspected rustlers after finding them carrying two partially skinned cattle carcasses that were laden in their Honda Fit vehicle in Emganwini, in Bulawayo.

The two, Ngonidzashe Mnyanya, 38, and Ashley Moyo, 24, both from Nkulumane 12, confessed to having stolen and skinned the two beasts.

Bulawayo provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Abednico Ncube, confirmed the incident. The two suspects were also found with a black satchel with a blood-stained t-shirt and two knives.

The two are now in police custody.

“We would like to advise farmers from Lower Rangemore and the surrounding areas with missing cattle to visit ZRP Donnington for possible identification of their cattle.

“We also urge farmers to pen their cattle and have herd boys who will move around grazing areas to guard against cattle rustlers. As police, we also appeal to members of the public for information that may lead to the arrest of the outstanding accused person,” he said.
