Robert Tichareva (46), the Hurungwe businessman who allegedly promised Simon Mushonga (20) for a human head has been granted bail by High COurt judge Justice Tawanda Chitapi. Tichareva is facing murder charges together with Mushonga who allegedly beheaded his sister in order to get the $4000. The two spent over two months on remand at Karoi Prison after Karoi provincial magistrate, Samuel Chitumwa, refused to grant them bail.
Justice Chitapi ordered Tichareva to reside at Stand 70, Zvipani Business Centre and report once every last Friday of the month at ZRP Magunje between 6 am and 6 pm.
The state alleges that Mashonga beheaded his sister Dadirai after being promised $4000 by Tazvireva, who runs a bottle store and a general dealer shop. After committing the heinous act, Mashonga contacted Tazvireva who instructed him to place the head in his car parked at the shops. However, he changed his mind later on and instructed Tazvireva to hide the head in the bush. Mashonga was arrested after he was found wearing blood-stained clothes after his mother had raised alarm when she discovered his sister’s decapitated head.
