Tragic news unfolded in Gokwe as a man, identified as Temba Munyoro (42) from Venge Village under Chief Chireya, reportedly took his own life after learning that the police were actively searching for him on sodomy charges. Munyoro was found hanging from a tree after an intensified police hunt.
Midlands Police spokesperson, Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko, confirmed the incident, stating that Munyoro’s body was discovered on September 21, 2023, around 4 am, following his earlier disappearance.
According to the police, Munyoro had been consuming alcohol at Nyamhara Business Centre when he received news that the authorities were looking for him in relation to allegations of sodomy.
