In an incident that has left many people in the leafy suburb of Borrowdale tongue-tied, Moses Zimba (51) shot his biological son Kudakwashe over US$300 debt.
Kudakwashe who hails in Budiriro is in critical condition at Parirenyatwa Hospital.
The incident has shocked and saddened many people, with some expressing their outrage on social media.
Kudakwashe was reportedly shot in the belly and waist at a house in Borrowdale, along Philadelphia Road.
Acting Harare provincial police spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Faith Mapisa, said Moses was arrested and is facing an attempted murder charge. “
Police arrested a Borrowdale man in connection with attempted murder”.
On Monday, the complainant went to the accused’s house to collect money owed to him. He demanded US$300, but the accused person only gave him US$20 and promised to send the rest to the complainant’s wife.
Assistant Inspector Faith Mapisa said, “The accused person went back into the house, leaving the complainant outside waiting for him to open the remote-controlled gate. Later the accused came out of the house and ordered the complainant to leave his premises”.
“The complainant then told the accused that he wanted to see the projects that were being done at the house and the accused continued ordering the complainant to leave. The accused person then pulled a firearm from his pocket and shot the complainant twice,” said Assistant Inspector Mapisa.
