A 16-year-old Harare girl knifed a 35-year-old man to death following a quarrel at a shebeen in Hatcliffe, Harare on Wednesday.
Police confirmed the arrest.
“On 02/11/22, ZRP Borrowdale arrested a 16-year-old girl for murder which occurred on 2/11/22 at around 2130 hours at the suspect’s residence at Premier Park, Hatcliffe, Harare.

This is not the first case of murder involving teenage suspects in the country.
In Umguza District, Matabeleland North Province, a 16-year-old boy ripped his 18-year-old friend’s stomach open with a kitchen knife following a quarrel while they were herding cattle in February this year.
In March this year, 18-year-old Pasina Nyasha of Gokwe was dragged to court over the murder of a fellow villager following an altercation over an empty beer bottle.
