13-year-old boy k!lls friend after argument over snacks

A 13-year-old boy in Harare, Zimbabwe, has been accused of k..lling his friend during a heated dispute over a packet of snacks. 

The incident occurred on 28 November 2025 in Stoneridge Park and has now become the focus of a murder investigation by the Zimbabwe Republic Police. Both the suspect and the victim, who were the same age, have not been officially identified due to their juvenile status.

What began as a seemingly trivial disagreement about sharing food reportedly escalated into a violent confrontation. Police say the altercation led to severe injuries that proved fatal for one of the boys. In an official statement shared on X on 30 November, authorities confirmed the case is being treated as murder. “Police in Harare are investigating a case of murder in which a 13-year-old male juvenile died after being assaulted by another 13-year-old male juvenile following an argument over sharing a packet of snacks. The incident occurred on 28/11/25 in Stoneridge Park,” a police representative said.

Officers have withheld details about the type of snacks and the exact nature of the attack, citing the ongoing investigation and the legal protections surrounding minors. Residents of Stoneridge Park have been left stunned by the tragedy, struggling to comprehend how a disagreement between children could end in such devastating loss.
