A FUGITIVE murder suspect, who stands accused of taking part in fatally assaulting a burglar in Sakubva early this month has been arrested and brought before the courts. Lovemore Maworere(36) was not asked to plead when he appeared before Mrs Sekai Chiundura.
He was granted $50 bail.
Mr Fletcher Karombe prosecuted.
It was the State’s case that on October 28, 2015 Maworere together with five other accomplices took turns to assault the now deceased, Everlast Chimbo by striking him with a wooden plank and electric cables.
