Chitungwiza magistrate Ms Blessing Murwisi deferred the sentencing of musician Tererai Mugwadi to January 12, 2018 because the trial magistrate, Mr Oliver Mudzongachiso was off duty. Mugwadi was found guilty of culpable homicide last Thursday.
The court heard that on June 23 this year, Mugwadi was involved in an accident which claimed the life of Seremani Marvellous. Mugwadi was driving a Toyota Rav4 along Seke Road under the influence of alcohol and failed to control her car which swerved and encroached into a lane with oncoming traffic.
She hit a Toyota Hiace truck, which was being driven by Tichaona Takaeneya and it overturned killing Seremani Marvellous who was sitting at the back. The matter was reported to the police, leading to Mugwadi’s arrest.
