Zimbabwe police investigate murder of white businessman

“We are not used to such cases,” he told Zimbabwe’s Daily News. “We
are still trying to see what the cause of death was. There was blood all
over the boot and his head was covered in a plastic bag.

“Looking at the body, vehicle and scene it is difficult to tell what
transpired at the moment.”

Speaking to the Telegraph yesterday, Mr Banks’ wife Monica said the family was
struggling to stay afloat in Zimbabwe’s harsh economic climate but she was
sure her husband had no enemies.

“We don’t know what business he was doing the day he disappeared,”
she said. “We don’t want newspapers to know which suburb we live in
because we don’t want the guy to come and get us as well.”

A family friend denied reports in Harare that Mr Banks had also been trading
in small rough diamonds to raise cash to settle his debts.

“I don’t believe he was in any diamond business,” he said. “He
was in debt that is true, but at this point in time we don’t know how deeply
in debt he was. You know Zimbabwe’s economy is stuffed.”
