Mauka reported the matter in October.<\/p>\n<p>Nyamhunga allegedly went to Mauka\u2019s house demanding his US$5 from her and assaulted her after she said she was going to give him back the money on a later date.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors allege a relationship between the two had deteriorated leading to the gruesome murder on Sunday night when Nyamhunga killed one of Mauka\u2019s children, by using a knife to stab him in the neck, before attempting to kill the deceased\u2019s sister.<\/p>\n<p>Nyamhunga, an employee of Koala Meats in Chitungwiza, appeared at the Mbare Magistrate Court following his arrest in Waterfalls on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n<p>He appeared before Mbare magistrate Batanai Madzingira, who referred him to the High Court for bail application.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutor Fidelis Chiherenge said on Sunday, 03 December 2023, at around 7 PM, Nyamhunga went to Mauka\u2019s house in Mufakose where he found her three children aged 5, 8 and 12 years alone.<\/p>\n<p>Nyamhunga allegedly called Mauka to inquire about her whereabouts.<\/p>\n<p>Mauka told him she was returning from watching the Chibuku Super Cup final between Dynamos and Ngezi Platinum Stars in Mhondoro.<\/p>\n<p>It is alleged that an argument ensued over the phone.<\/p>\n<p>The State said Nyamhunga instructed the two girls to sleep on the floor while he, and the five-year-old boy, slept on the bed.<\/p>\n<p>At around 8.30 PM, Nyamhunga took a kitchen knife and slit the boy\u2019s throat leading, to his death.<\/p>\n<p>Nyamhunga allegedly stabbed the eight-year-old girl in the throat, but the girl\u2019s screams made him panic.<\/p>\n<p>The girl sustained a deep cut and ran to a neighbour\u2019s house, while Nyamhunga fled the scene.<\/p>\n<p>The neighbour called Maunga informing her about the attack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
