After spotting the poachers, the Rangers reportedly fired a warning shot into the air but the poachers responded with sustained gunfire using a 303 rifle resulting in a fire exchange that left the trio dead.

According to a ZimLive report;

> Detectives from Chiredzi Police Station attended the scene. On examining Mukombi’s body, they found – inside a satchel – a Zimbabwean passport, soya chunks, an axe, loaf of bread, instant porridge and clothes.

> He also had a brown wallet containing a South African driver’s licence, a South African firearm licence, a South African private security company identity card, an Economic Freedom Fighters political party membership card and diazepam tablets.

A second victim was found about 20 metres from Mukombi dead body while a third victim fell 25 metres away.

Police investigations over incident continue while the game rangers have not been arrested.
