TWO Gokwe brothers, Leon and Parkchad Muringi are on the run after stabbing a mourner to death for drinking beer during funeral proceedings.
Police confirmed the fugitive suspects are wanted in connection with the gruesome killing of Tapiwa Ziyambi (37) of Dzingisai village in Nembudziya, Gokwe as well as attempted murder of the now deceased’s brothers.
“Police in Gokwe are appealing for information which may lead to the arrest of Leon Muringi and Parkchad Muringi both of Njikeni village, Nembudziya, in connection with cases of murder and attempted murder which occurred on May 15, 2022 at Dzingisai Village,” said national police spokesperson, assistant commissioner Paul Nyathi.
The suspects reportedly had an argument with three Ziyambi brothers after they were admonished from drinking beer at a funeral they were attending and later confronted them wielding knives and machetes.

Tererai Ziyambi (32) sustained a gash in his back after he was struck with a machete.
