A 31-year-old man from Masvingo has been arrested in connection with the alleged murder of a local businessman.
The suspect Tafadzwa Kanengoni was arrested in Zvishavane after the callous murder of a popular businessman Michael Munhungowarwa aged 41 at the Sisk business centre in Masvingo last week.
Masvingo Provincial Police Spokesperson, Inspector Kudakwashe Dhehwa confirmed the incident.
