Chipinge Businessman’s 13yr Old Son Kills Friend … Victim’s Parents Speak

It was all doom and gloom in Chipinge, after prominent businessman Edmore Mwoyoweshumba’s 13-year-old son ran over his friend, the late Moses Mubare in a freak accident.

 Mubare’s mother, Mrs Abigale Muposhi, confirmed the tragedy which is said to have happened around 11am in Chipinge.

Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Tavhiringwa Kakohwa said the teenager (named withheld), took the keys to his father’s Landcruiser without permission.

Mr Edmore Moyoweshumba was absent  from home when his son hatched the plan to take his car.

The car is said to have stopped after the engine cut off and the 13 year old teenager allegedly instructed his friends to push the vehicle.
