POLICE in Bulawayo have launched a manhunt for a teenager from Hope Fountain who allegedly murdered a 15-year-old boy at a community borehole on December 2 this year.
In a statement, Bulawayo acting police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Nomalanga Msebele said Ntandoyenkosi Ncube (19) allegedly stabbed Mduduzi Mkandla, while in the company of his friends at a borehole.
The teenage boy was rushed to United Bulawayo Hospitals where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Meanwhile, police have arrested four male adults from Tshabalala high-density suburb who allegedly murdered a 23-year-old man from Nkulumane 12 following a misunderstanding over an undisclosed issue.
The suspects, Malucky Mwembe (28), Isiah Mlauzi (21), Peace Israel Mlauzi (21) and Delma Phiri (22), allegedly fatally assaulted Obediah Mumba (23) at a sports bar.
The four reportedly fled the scene, leaving Mumba lying unconscious on the ground.
