POLICE are investigating the tragic kidnapping and murder of a 50-year-old man from Bulawayo, Albert Tshuma, who was strangled in front of his son after offering a lift to an unknown assailant.

The incident occurred on January 21 along Randum Road in the Upper Rangemore area.

Tshuma was driving a Honda CRV when he picked up a male suspect, who brandished a pistol and ordered him to follow an unregistered BMW in front of them.

Matters came to a head when their vehicle ran out of fuel.
