CHIPINGE: Four villagers here who recently heavily assaulted their colleague over a bottle of beer before throwing his body in Save River have appeared at the local magistrate and remanded in custody facing murder charges.
The suspects are; Gilbert Chingwinire (28), Mapipi Sigauke (49), Mazano Sigauke (26) and Edmore Mtetwa (33), all of Chisavanye Village.
They appeared before Magistrate Elizabeth Hanzi facing charges of murdering Blessing Taaka Sithole (27) of Gumira Village under Chief Garahwa.
The four, however, denied the charge but were remanded in custody to March 22.
Prosecutor Timothy Katsande told the court that on March 2 at around 8 pm, the suspects were drinking beer with the now deceased at Gumira Business Centre.
