Mob Kills Suspected Thief
By A Correspondent
A tragic incident occurred on December 1, 2024, along Highway Road in Belvedere, Harare, resulting in the death of a man identified as Bla Odza. According to the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), Odza and his accomplice, Onias Marenga (20), were accused of stealing clothes from a push cart and subsequently assaulted by a mob .
The brutal attack left Odza with severe bruises all over his body, and he lost consciousness. Despite being rushed to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospital, he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The police have repeatedly warned against mob justice, emphasizing the importance of handing over suspects to the authorities rather than taking the law into one’s own hands. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of vigilantism and the need for communities to work with law enforcement to maintain justice and order.
