The family of a Zimbabwean national who was found hanging on the rafters of his rented house in Modipane with gushed eye and a bruised forehead suspect he may have been killed by the police during interrogation.

His friend says the deceased was wanted by the police moments after he had broken into the home of a chief in Oodi village, where he made away with some items. A notorious thug known for shop breaking and out on bail for a string of crimes, Brian Matanga, was discovered hanging from the rafters of his house. Families and friends of the 25-year-old deceased said their suspicions arose when they discovered that his right eye was chucked out. The corpse also had a gush on the forehead and his face looked like it had been beaten severely.

One of his friends, whose name cannot be mentioned for security reasons, said he last saw Matanga when he went home to take a shower. The friend is also a partner in crime with the deceased, and is also out on bail for a string of crimes.
