Man kills friend over apple

A 23-year-old man named Emmanuel Chingwaru from Zimbabwe has been arraigned before a Magistrates’ court on charges of murder.

The incident occurred on July 15, 2024 during a fight over apple.

The altercation reportedly began over an apple the suspect forcibly took from the victim, which had been given to him by a relative.

The victim wanted the apple for himself, leading to the confrontation as the suspect resisted, simply wanting to enjoy his apple.

Allegedly, the suspect assaulted the victim repeatedly on the head, nose, and mouth, using his own head during the attack.

He then stabbed him with a knife behind his left ear.

Mwasura succumbed to his injuries shortly after being admitted to a District Hospital. Chingwaru fled the scene but was apprehended two days later.

The suspect, who had his initial hearing in the Chegutu Magistrate’s Court, has been remanded in custody until August 2, 2024, pending further legal proceedings.

The National Prosecution Authority of Zimbabwe has urged the public to seek peaceful resolutions to disputes and to avoid taking the law into their own hands.
