Seven armed attackers killed businessman Joseph Mutangadura at his Ruwa farm on Sunday night, raising questions about their true motives. The 67-year-old victim suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his stomach and chest during the assault. His wife Patience remains hospitalized after the gang left her unconscious. Police initially classified the incident as an armed robbery, but investigators face puzzling evidence. The attackers stole only a cellphone worth ten dollars despite having access to cash and other valuables.
The gang specifically asked a security guard to describe Mutangadura before entering his bedroom. They rejected his offer to lead them to an abattoir containing money and shot him instead. Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed that the Zimbabwe Republic Police are investigating the murder and robbery charges. The couple had recently reunited after their divorce on June 15. Family members express concern that the attackers targeted Mutangadura's life rather than seeking financial gain.
