Two more people were brutally killed on Monday evening in Bhosha Village, Magaya area of Guruve, deepening fear in a district already reeling from a spate of violent murders.
The victims were a mother and her daughter, a Form Three pupil. Another child survived the attack by hiding under a bed.
The Mashonaland Central provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Milton Mundembe, confirmed the incident, stating that investigations are underway and more details will be released in due course.
Police have intensified a manhunt for the prime suspect, Anymore Zvitsva (32), who is believed to be working with a group of accomplices.
The killings, which began as isolated incidents in October, have since escalated into a disturbing pattern, with more than a dozen people reportedly murdered in Guruve.
The wave of night-time attacks has instilled widespread terror, forcing many families to abandon their homesteads and seek safety by sleeping in groups at designated houses.
