After Nyanga was reported missing on Monday, his car, a Honda Fit is reported to have been spotted in Epworth. crime experts have revealed that the criminals are suspected to reside in the high-density suburb. While the Honda Fit had a tracking device, it is reported to have failed to work at the time the suspected murder occurred.
A police report and investigation was only carried out after the deceased's client, who was waiting for Nyanga on the day he went missing, contacted the family to check on his whereabouts.
Speaking to the publication, Nyanga's son, Alfred, told the publication that the family was deeply hurt by the untimely death and the circumstances leading to it.
This client is like family to us and baba vanogara vachimutakura saka ndiye akatozofona kuti mdhara havasati vasvika then we started calling him but number yavo yairamba until the next morning when we reported the case ku police.
We looked for my father everywhere kuma hospitals, mortuary muma streets even pama shops but hatina kuvawana until hanzvadzi yamhamha found leads on baba's disappearance kuGreencroft. I was heartbroken seeing my old man in a terrible state dumbu ranga rava kutozvimba mudhara looked so lifeless ndakarwadziwa ndanga ndisati ndamboona baba vakaita seizvozvo.
Claudius' second son Tendai told the publication that he was aggrieved by the vehicle tracking system that failed to help them locate their father's car.
I'm really hurt nemafiro ababa, ndiri kubatikana ne Econet. We paid for the car tracker but haina kuti batsira they kept telling to us kuti their server was down. Zvinorwadza kuti we paid for the tracker when the car was registered for VAYA asi hazvina kubatsira," he said.
