Lobati and Mazhindu allegedly had a misunderstanding along Matshona Road in Old Luveve on 6 April around 11 PM.<\/p>\n

The accused assaulted the now deceased with fists and he fell headlong on the tarred road and died on the spot.<\/p>\n

To conceal the crime, Lobati dragged the deceased\u2019s body to a nearby bush and fled from the scene.<\/p>\n

The body of the late Mazhindu, popularly known as Dread or Rasta, was later discovered on 7 April at a nearby bush.<\/p>\n

Lobati was found dressed in blood-stained clothes on the day he was arrested which linked him to the alleged heinous act.<\/p>\n

He has since made positive indications at the crime scene with detectives from CID Homicide (Bulawayo).<\/p>\n

Lobati pleaded guilty to one count of murder before Bulawayo magistrate Rachel Mukanga who remanded him in custody to 27 April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
