A 58-year-old Kuwadzana man was on Tuesday stabbed to death while fighting with a housebreaker.
Amos Pearson was asleep with his wife when Bigboy Majenje broke into their house midnight.
The couple were awakened by the noise and Bigboy ran away, scaling the precast wall at the property.
Amos caught up and assaulted Bigboy using a metal rod while shouting “mbavha mbavha” to alert his neighbours for help.
However, Bigboy wrestled and got control of the same rod, attacked Amos and kicked him on his chest.
When Amos’ wife and son tried to join, he returned to his bedroom where he died.
Neighbours joined in, apprehended Bigboy and attacked him leading to his arrest.
Harare provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza confirmed the case.
“Police arrested a Kuwadzana suspected house breaker for murder,” said Insp Chakanza.
