Simbarashe Munakamwe (36) of Marondera was sentenced to 6 years for attempted murder after he stabbed his wife several times with a kitchen knife. Harare Magistrate Themba Kuwanda suspended 2 years on good condition meaning that Munakamwe will effectively save 4 years.
Munakamwe was found guilty despite claiming that he was Mhondoro when the crime took place. The magistrate dismissed his claim saying evidence from the mobile network operator confirmed that he was at the scene of the crime. He allegedly stabbed Rachel Kurwakurimwe on 24 November last year around 9 pm. He was unable to finish his task because his wife’s brother woke up and interrupted him.
