Gweru Car Dealer Peter Dube To Be Sentenced On 26 November

Fugitive Gweru car dealer Peter Dube, who was found guilty of two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder by the Bulawayo High Court, is scheduled to be sentenced on 26 November 2025.

On 22 April 2021, Dube shot and killed Shelton Chiduku and Gamuchirai Madungwe, and also attempted to kill Nyasha Nharingo and Nyaradzo Nharingo.

The chain of events began when Dube arrived at his apartment in Gweru CBD and discovered that his second wife, Nyasha Nharingo, was not at home.

She later returned, accompanied by the other three victims. Dube locked himself inside the apartment as Nyasha tried to enter.

Nyasha then called Dube’s brother, and upon his arrival, Dube opened the door. Nyasha and Nyaradzo Nharingo began packing their belongings and threatened to leave Dube.

Infuriated, Dube pulled out a gun and shot Shelton Chiduku, who was sitting in a car with Gamuchirai Madungwe. Both died on the spot.

Dube then returned to the apartment and shot Nyasha and Nyaradzo Nharingo before fleeing the scene.

Nyasha and Nyaradzo Nharingo were rushed to the hospital for treatment, but Nyaradzo later died from complications arising from the injuries.

Throughout the trial, Dube denied the charges, claiming that he was not mentally stable at the time the offences were committed.
