By Staff Reporter
Three women from Harare’s Mabvuku high density suburb struck a man with pots and other objects causing injuries that led to his death two days later, a Harare magistrate heard on Monday.
For the crime, the three, Mavis Gambiza (36), Sharon Tayengwa (26), and Sharon Mafushe were charged with murder.
They were remanded in custody to March 1 this year pending indictment for trial.
The deceased was identified as Charles Julius.
The incident happened in the early hours of Thursday last week.
Harare provincial magistrate Isheunesu Matova was told that the three confronted Julius at Babylon Bar in Old Tafara accusing him of stealing Gambiza’s cell phone.
They went on to repeatedly strike Julius on the head with a pot and other unidentified objects, causing severe injuries on him, court heard.
Julius was conveyed to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals for treatment.
He was later discharged on the same day but succumbed to the injuries at his home two days after.
Police arrested the three suspects on the day of his death.
The women were advised to apply for bail through the High Court as is prescribed by Zimbabwean laws.
