A 17-year-old boy who was kidnapped by unknown goons was later found dead in a bushy area in Chivhu.

Midlands provincial police spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko confirmed the incident Wednesday which he said occurred last Saturday.

“The now-deceased has since been identified as John Mbano of Chivhu.

“He and two other commuters boarded a silver Toyota Noah at Chivhu Chicken Inn going to Masvingo.

Mahoko said the vehicle already had four occupants, including the driver, three males and one female.

He said the vehicle was stopped in the bush and the four demanded money and other valuables from Mbano and the other two passengers.

Mahoko said the suspects tied the hands of their victims using cables before assaulting them.

The trio was robbed of US$285, R100, two cellphones and groceries before being dumped in a bush.
