A MAN is being accused of stabbing and killing his brother after a dispute, which is said to have started at a farm in Banket, last week.
Brendon and Gideon Chirawu, two brothers from Greystone Park in Harare, were involved in the dispute, which escalated and resulted in the death of one of the brothers. Brendon is accused of stabbing Gideon, leading to his death.
According to sources, after Gideon collapsed, Brendon attempted mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, while waiting for an ambulance.
He is said to have transported Gideon to a hospital but Gideon died before being admitted at a medical facility in Borrowdale.
He was 33.
National police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi could not be reached for comment at the time of going to print.
No comment, too, could be obtained from the family of the two brothers.
However, H-Metro can reveal that Brendon was arrested and detained at Borrowdale Police Station before being taken to Banket for further management of the case.
The incident had left Greystone Park residents in shock.
One of the Greystone Park residents, Trynos Kamudyariwa, described Gideon as a good and quiet man.
“We have been saddened by the loss of Gideon. He was so loving and very quiet, and we were shocked by the incident that led to his death,” Kamudyariwa said.
