> The Zimbabwe Republic Police confirms the arrest of Tapiwa Munetsi (20) and Tatenda Obey Mutize (30) in connection with a case of kidnapping involving four Mudzonga Primary School pupils aged six (06), seven (07), nine (09), and seven (07) in Mutoko.

> On 6th July 2022, at around 1500 hours, Tapiwa Munetsi met the four juveniles, three females and one male, on their way home at the school grounds.

> He took the pupils hostage while accusing them of having picked an undisclosed amount of cash, which he claimed to have lost.

> Munetsi then took the pupils to a mountain adjacent to the school on the pretext that he was taking them to the Police.

> While on the mountain, he stripped the children naked before taking them to a bush area near his residence, about 8 km from the school.

> Along the way, one of the juveniles escaped and alerted her parents, leading to a search which resulted in the location of the victims in the bush area at Sonhera Village.

> The suspect tried to escape and was later arrested while hiding at his residence.

> Upon questioning, Tapiwa Munetsi implicated Tatenda Obey Mutize as the one who had sent him to look for children who are in grade 5 and below.

> The victims have since been referred to Mutoko District Hospital for medical examination.

> The Police are now conducting comprehensive investigations to establish the motive behind the kidnapping.
