Manicaland provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luxon Chananda yesterday confirmed the death of wheel spinner Blessing Manando (21) and a Zimunya man, Paradzai Mapanga, who was found dead on Saturday night.
Chananda said Manando’s body was found along a footpath linking Area 13 and Area 3 in the sprawling suburb of Dangamvura.
