The State alleges that on August 1 at around 11pm, Parafini received information that his wife was seen coming out of the now-deceased, Arineshito Zhuwawo Janhi’s bedroom in a suspected infidelity affair.
He teamed up with his friend, who is still at large, and allegedly stormed Janhi’s homestead armed with a hoe.
The duo allegedly broke into the deceased’s house and assaulted him, killing him on the spot. Tariro Janhi represented the State.
