The Zimbabwe Republic Police is appealing for information that can lead to the arrest Zvimba couple Lister Sibanda and John ZviviĀ  who are on the run for allegedly murdering their four-year-old niece Princess Shoko to death.

The couple bludgeoned Princess to death before they stuffed her body in a sack and dumped it in a stream near a bridge in Kuwadzana Extension.

It was later discovered by a self-proclaimed prophet, who had gone to the stream to carry out some cleansing rituals.

The deceasedā€™s six-year-old sibling is also battling for her life at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, after being attacked by the couple on July 28.

Lister is a younger sister to Nomsa Sibanda the mother of the two children who works in South Africa.
