A massive funeral was held at Ona Farm in Guruve for five members of the same family. Grace Zvitsva, her son Tendai, Loice Chiringaushe, and Loice's two young children were all killed in a brutal attack. They were buried at different locations according to family wishes.
The accused killer is a relative, Anymore Zvitsva. Family spokespersons say he held grudges from past disputes, including one where Grace identified him during a citizen's arrest for theft. The violence started when attackers shut the doors of a homestead during a family ceremony.
Local leaders, including a government minister and the area MP, visited and called the killings heartbreaking. They expressed fear and anger, especially because several suspects, including Anymore, were previously arrested by the community only to be released by police. The community and traditional leaders are traumatized, demanding answers and better cooperation with law enforcement to end the violence.
