Zimbabwe: Citizen's Arrest Turns Sour for Trio

8 November 2017

Police in Zvishavane have arrested three men for allegedly fatally assaulting a suspected thief in the town. Kudakwashe Ncube, Sonboy Ncube and Jeremiah Donhora (all aged 22) appeared before Zvishavane magistrate Mr Archie Wochiunga facing murder charges. They were, however, not asked to plead to the charges. Mr Wochiwunga remanded the trio in custody to November 15.

Allegations are that on September 10, Kudakwashe and Sonboy made a report at Shurugwi Police Station, where they alleged that the now deceased (not identified on court sheets) had stolen from their house. They reported that they had lost an undisclosed amount of money, a laptop, a sub-woofer, plasma TV and some clothes.
