Renamo murders child in Muxungue raid, father seriously injured – Mozambique
7:31 CAT | 17 Oct 2016
A ten year old child died on Friday night during an attack by gunmen of the Mozambican rebel movement Renamo, against the Muxungue administrative post, in the central province of Sofala, according to report on Radio Mozambique.
The child was burnt alive inside his parents’ house, set ablaze by the Renamo raiders. His father was a local state official, the secretary of the Muxungue Fourth Neighbourhood. The father sustained serious injuries – the gunmen shot him as he was trying to escape.
The spokesperson for the Sofala provincial police command, Daniel Macuacua, said the attack took place at about 23.00. The armed group, wearing Renamo uniform, headed straight for the house of the neighbourhood secretary. They set it on fire, and then shot at anyone trying to flee.
The defence and security forces are on the ground in Muxungue attempting to locate the murderers, said Macuacua.
