Murder Suspect Released On ZWL$20 000 Bail

A Zaka man facing a murder charge has been granted ZWL$20 000 bail by High Court judge, Justice Garainesu Mawadze, after he spent almost four months in remand prison, reported The Mirror.

However, Panashe Chiwira (21) of Jerera’s role in the alleged murder was not stated in State papers.

State papers only include Chiwira as the fifth accused person in the murder of Alphios Mukorera at Jerera Growth Point on 10 October 2022.

Prosecutor Edwin Mbavarira did not oppose the bail.

The other accused are Susan Chekungwara (26) a sex worker, Talent Mugariri (24), Brighton Machaya (23) and Austin Gwatiwana (18).

It is alleged that Chekungwara would lure rich clients and inform Mugariri, Machaya, and Gwatiwana who would then attack her clients and rob them of valuables.

Mugariri, Machaya and Gwatiwana have previous convictions for stealing a vehicle under CR86/02/22 and CR151/04/19.

Allegations are that on 10 October 2022, Chekungwara left Nherera Night Club with Mukorera around 3 AM after informing her accomplices that he had cash on him.

Mugari, Machaya and Gwatiwana followed Chekungwara and Mukorera and they arrived at her place as Mukorera was soliciting sex.

It is further alleged that the three then accused Mukorera of having a relationship with Machaya’s wife.

The three began assaulting him with a log until he died. They allegedly stole US$283, a pair of brown shoes and an Itel phone from the deceased.

The suspects then took Mukorera’s body and dumped it in an open space at the growth point.

A passerby saw Mukorera’s lifeless body and informed the Police who conducted investigations leading to Chekungwara’s arrest.

She then implicated the other accused persons including Chiwira.
