Terrence Mawawa|A teenager was shot dead during skirmishes between ZRP cops and members of the public on Christmas Day.

Police sources said four  officers from Bravo Troop based at Chikombedzi were deployed at Chibwedziva Business Centre on
Christmas Day to maintain peace and order.

The four were Sergeant Zinyenge, Cst Urayayi, Cst Kachere and Cst Zungunde. While on duty, the four arrested Liberty Makondo for assault.

Members of the public then mobilised demanding immediate release of Makondo. The angry crowd broke into songs of protest against police.

As the public advanced towards the four officers, the cops fired six warning shots. One of the shots hit Tapiwa Gocheki.

Gocheki was rushed to Chibwedziva Clinic where he died before receiving treatment.
