Provincial spokesperson, Robert Netshiunda says the motive for the killings is unknown.


"It is reported that 15 men, whose ages range between 25 and 46 years old, were inside a house when seven suspects, reportedly armed with rifles, came and asked them about the whereabouts of the owner of the house.


"After realising that the owner was not there, the men reportedly instructed the occupants of the house to undress, before pouring liquid substances on them and set them alight. 


"Eight men reportedly died at the scene while four victims survived with severe burn wounds and were rushed to hospital for medical attention."
