In an exclusive interview with BBC News, the parents of an eleven-year-old girl, who was allegedly killed by a U.S. diplomat residing in Zimbabwe, have expressed they would like him to return to Zimbabwe and formally apologize to them for his actions. On June 3, 2024, Ruvarashe Takamhanya was allegedly run over by a diplomat on her way to school. Ruvarashe had allegedly been crossing the road with her best friend when she was suddenly hit. Juliana Vito, her mother, was alerted of the accident by her neighbors and rushed to the crash site. According to her, the driver of the car that hit her daughter was not at the crash site when she arrived, and the diplomat’s colleagues later informed her that he had fled the scene because he was greatly impacted by the accident.
