A Good Samaritan was fatally stabbed as he tried to rescue a woman being attacked by robbers whose presence police had been advised of, NewsDay has heard.<\/p>\n
The other two sudden deaths were of men who took their lives by hanging.<\/p>\n
Matabeleland South police spokesman Philisani Ndebele said he was out of the office and did not have information.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease get hold of those in the office, I am out in Hwali,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Police sources at Beitbridge confirmed the three deaths.<\/p>\n
\u201cThirty-year Jeremiah Mutasa was stabbed close to the border post when he lept in to help a woman under attack by robbers. He was stabbed in the chest,\u201d said the source,<\/p>\n
\u201cPolice had been warned about the suspicious people, but they did not take preventive action. A woman got off a bus at a roundabout near the Customs and Excise gate and the robbers
\nswarmed her. The deceased successfully rescued the woman, but paid with his life,\u201d a source said.<\/p>\n
Residents said there are usually more than 10 policemen close to the point where Mutasa died.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred around 2am and has sparked debate on the role of the police deployed at the border post.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in Dulivhadzimo, 34-year-old Emmanuel Ndlovu hanged himself in what is suspected to be a result of depression after losing his job.<\/p>\n
Ndlovu was a clerk at a local wholesaler but lost his job. His body was discovered by passers-by in the bushes in Dulivhadzimo.<\/p>\n
In the same high-density suburb, Jeffrey Masiya took his life following a domestic dispute.<\/p>\n
It is understood that Masiya and his wife had disagreed over an undisclosed issue leading to the 34 -year-old taking his life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
