A Chiredzi man, Hillary Bvocho, was killed by three suspected robbers in front of his wife at a house in Funye road, Makondo suburb on Monday night.
Bvocho was axed after he gave them US$800 and they ransacked his house of cellphones and laptops.
He was an administrator at Chiororo Transport.
Masvingo provincial police spokesperson, Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the incident.
Ward 5 councillor Philemon Muchaendepi narrated the ordeal.
“I gather that three armed robbers cut the fence and gained access into the yard.
“They forced their way into the sitting room by destroying the door with a machete. Bvocho woke up to investigate the noise that’s when one of the armed robbers slapped him on the face, held him hostage and demanded money.
“The robbers went to the bedroom and one of them held Bvocho’s wife by the throat. Bvocho gave them US$800 and they took all cellphones and a laptop that were in the house and then axed Bvocho on the head,” Muchaendepi said.
The robbers then left and that is when the wife screamed for help.
Police came at around 4am and Bvocho was already dead.
