According to information gleaned from the police official Twitter handle, “Police in Guruve have arrested Edward Chiyanike, 33, in connection with a case of murder in which the victim, Tongai Magocha, 53, died on 23/05/23 after being struck with a brick on the head on 22/05/23 at Tenanog Farm Shops.”
