Friday, September 5, 2025 - A gruesome murder case has shaken Tsholotsho, Zimbabwe, as police launch a manhunt for a 34-year-old woman, Linnar Muzimela, and her boyfriend, identified only as Nkosi, over the killing of Muzimela’s stepmother, 58-year-old Jenifer Dube.
The incident is believed to have occurred in May 2025 at
Magotsha Line, but it only came to light months later. On 2 September, police
recovered Dube’s remains from a shallow grave in the backyard garden after
acting on a tip-off.
Investigators allege that Muzimela and Nkosi murdered Dube
before secretly burying her. The motive behind the crime remains unknown, and
police are working to establish the circumstances surrounding the killing.
National police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi
appealed for public assistance in tracking down the suspects, urging anyone
with information to come forward.
“We are appealing for information that may lead to the
arrest of Linnar Muzimela and her boyfriend, Nkosi. They are wanted in
connection with a case of murder in which the victim, who was Muzimela’s
stepmother, was killed and buried in a shallow grave at Magotsha Line,” Nyathi
said.
Neighbours had reportedly raised concerns after Dube
disappeared for several weeks, prompting suspicions that led authorities to
search the property. Their concerns were confirmed when police unearthed the
body.
Commissioner Nyathi emphasised the importance of public
cooperation, asking those with knowledge of the fugitives’ whereabouts to
report to the nearest police station.
The motive remains unclear, but police say the search for
Muzimela and Nkosi is being intensified.
