He had two children with Khathutshelo Moyo, who went underground since the discovery of his body, on the outskirts of Beitbridge, a short distance from where police recovered a Honda Fit suspected to have been used to ferry the mutilated corpse.
Neighbours yesterday said police had come several times looking for Moyo known to have called one of their children using a South African mobile number to ask “if the dog she killed had been picked or it would rot in the bush”.
According to a police memorandum dated May 22 addressed to the provincial head of criminal investigations in Matabeleland South, one Superintendent Ncube, Ribombo was murdered on May 19 at Moyo’s homestead in Mapolobela village under Chief Matibe.
Police found struggle marks on the ground at Moyo’s home and further investigations showed blood near a well in the yard, blood stains on stones and on a hoe handle that might have been used to bludgeon the victim.
Outside the gate, there were tyre marks where the trace of the blood was last observed,” police said in the memo.
