SIX Chipinge villagers were on Monday dragged to court for allegedly murdering a 28-year-old man whom they caught stealing a goat.

The suspects — Aaron Chibhamu (58), Nhamo Simango (33), Miriam Sithole (46), Chauya Munjoma (48), Joshua Mlambo(28) and Farai Mlambo all from Matsaka Village under Chief Mutema — appeared before Mrs Elizabeth Hanzi facing murder charges as defined in Section 47 of Criminal Law (Codification and Reform Act).

They are out on $500 bail each.

It was a State’s case led Mr Gift Bikita that on February 2 at around midnight the suspects apprehended Tichaona Makuyana whom they found in a pen trying to steal a goat.

The suspects started assaulting the deceased and they took him to Chipinge Central Police Station.

“Upon arrival at the police station the officers on duty ordered the now deceased to go to hospital since he was bleeding profusely but he died before he was attended to,” he said.

They will be back in court on February 28 for routine remand.
