A man from Mzila Village, Chief Sogwala, Lower Gweru, was arraigned before the Gweru High Court Circuit on murder charges.
The incident took place at Ngwenya Mine, Ranch Farm, Shamrock, Lower Gweru. Colleen Ngwenya had a misunderstanding with the now-deceased, who was a security guard at the mine. The deceased informed Ngwenya that weapons were not allowed on the premises, seized his knives, and advised him to collect them when he left the mine.
A few hours later, Ngwenya waylaid the deceased and stabbed him in the buttocks and back. The deceased was found bleeding and lying on the ground by a passerby, who rushed to seek help. When the passerby returned with assistance, they found the deceased no longer breathing.
In a statement on X, the National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPAZ) said Ngwenya was sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment.
