Matabeleland South spokesperson, Philani Ndebele, said the murder suspect, Zibusiso Mangena (24) has been on the run since October 2012 when he allegedly committed the murder.

He said the Gwanda Criminal Investigation Department was working around the clock and members of the public must use hotlines to contact the police and provide information.

Ndebele said at times, fugitive suspects got harboured by members of the community and concerned citizens must open up and hand them over to the police because Mangena was a danger to society.

“We have released this name so that the public would help us in arresting this criminal,” he said.

“It is our duty as police officers to ensure lawfulness in the country.

“We are there for the people and as such the people must help us to catch those who break laws and create chaos in society.”
