BULAWAYO – Two men were brutally stabbed to death and their bodies thrown down a 50-meter deep community well in Mpoengs, Matabeleland South.

Police said the double murders occurred on October 31 in Bulu area.

The victims were identified as Million Moyo, 25, and Bhekinkosi Ncube, 24.

It is alleged that Lucky Mpofu, 30, Modira Dube, 27, and their accomplice only identified as Methuli took turns to stab the two with an unknown sharp object indiscriminately all over their bodies.
