Slain businessman Joseph Mutangadura was shot once in the chest, with the bullet piercing through his back and striking his heart, according to a postmortem report released this week. The fatal shooting occurred at his Ruwa farmhouse, where he was reportedly attacked by suspected robbers. Despite the violent nature of the incident, no valuables were taken, prompting concern and speculation from family members.

Relatives say the circumstances surrounding Mutangadura’s death remain unclear and troubling. Among the unanswered questions are:

Why was the security guard replaced before his shift ended?

Why were the guard dogs locked away on the night of the shooting?

Why was the maid dismissed just days before the tragedy?

Authorities have yet to issue a formal statement addressing these concerns. As investigations continue, the family is calling for transparency and a deeper probe into what they believe may have been a targeted killing rather than a random robbery.
