BY TREVOR MUTSVAIRO A TRIAL date has been set for High Court judge Justice Garainesu Mawadze’s son, Munyaradzi, who is being accused of murdering a cellphone dealer in 2020.
Munyaradzi, who is jointly charged with Elvin Dongo Saungweme and Dellon David Balani, appeared before Harare magistrate Yeukai Dzuda yesterday.
The trio, which face a charge of murdering Sipho Milton Ncube in March 2020, will face trial from September 26.
The alleged murder happened on March 12, 2020.
The three allegedly approached the now-deceased and lured him into their car, claiming they wanted to buy three cellphones. Ncube agreed and told them each phone cost US$1 800.
“The now-deceased agreed to accompany the trio to Waterfalls and the accused diverted route and drove along Chiremba Road passing Epworth going towards Ruwa,” the court papers read.
