Appross Mushunje, 50, of Katanga in Norton, appeared before
Chinhoyi High Court Judge, Justice Philda Muzofa, charged with murder.
Mushunje was sentenced to 13 years imprisonment.
The deceased, Spilile Magwada, 39, was employed as a
hairdresser at a local salon.
Prosecuting, Herekiya Maromo, told the court that Mushunje
and Mugwada lived as husband and wife, who had a long standing dispute, which
they failed to resolve.
The court heard that on July 11, 2020, Magwada invited her
uncle, Benjamin Chirenje, to her home to mediate between the couple.
Chirenje is said to have done his part and the two were
determined to forgive each other.
On July 13, around 9am, Mushunje and Chirenje left for
home, while the deceased remained home, preparing to go to work. Mushunje then
returned home, claiming that he had left his particulars.
He is said to have assaulted his wife before strangling
her, leading to her death.
On July 16, Mushunje was arrested. H Metro
