The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has arrested Rameck Chidinhika (53) and his three daughters, Constancia Chidinhika (28), Vimbai Chidinhika (19), and a 15-year-old juvenile, for the brutal murder of Rameck’s father, Tizirai Chidinhika (77), and his mother, Miriam Polisiri (92).

The killings took place at Chorupanga Village in Nyajena, Masvingo, in October 2024.

According to police reports, the incident occurred at around 07:00 hours. The motive behind the gruesome crime is believed to be accusations of witchcraft, with the suspects alleging that the elderly couple had cast misfortune on Rameck Chidinhika’s family.
