A 36-year-old man was shot dead early Thursday by five suspected armed robbers who raided his home in the Mangavha suburb in Beitbridge.
According to eyewitnesses, the suspects stormed into the house at around 2 am and rounded up all the inhabitants in one room, fired four shots, and bludgeoned some of them with iron bars.
The deceased, whose identity could not be disclosed as his next of kin are yet to be informed, was shot in the chest and died on the spot after he allegedly attempted to resist the attacks.
