A 38-year old-Gweru man, who grabbed headlines on Tuesday after he brutally murdered his wife and their two minor children, collapsed and died at court as he awaited a hearing on Thursday.
A police officer, who escorted Kanyimo from Nehanda police station, however, told NewZimbabwe.com that he may have succumbed to multiple injuries he sustained from members of the community when they were trying to restrain him.
“When we arrived at court he appeared very unwell,” a police officer who attended to the scene said.
“Besides stitched deep cuts on his head he also had bruises on his body and when we arrived just outside court cells he collapsed and passed on.”
The police officers were fighting to contain a vast crowd that had gathered to catch a glimpse of at Kanyimo’s body which had been covered with a blanket.
