Mupingiza (35) was not asked to plead to murder charges
when he appeared before Harare magistrate Mrs Barbra Mateko.
He was remanded in custody to September 18. Bail in such
cases can only be granted by the High Court.
It is alleged that on March 21 at around midnight, both
Mupingiza and the deceased — Robert Gomana — were at Hub 24 Nite Club at
Dzivarasekwa 2 Shopping Centre in Harare, drinking beer.
The court heard that Mupingiza was in the company of two
unknown men and a woman. It is alleged that Gomana developed an interest in the
woman and he approached her seeking sexual relations.
This did not go down well with Mupingiza and the two men
who then teamed up and assaulted Gomana. The court heard that Gomara was saved
by other patrons in the night club.
It is the State’s case that Gomana was rushed to Rujeko
Clinic, Dzivarasekwa for treatment and was referred to Parirenyatwa Group of
Hospitals, where he was admitted.
Gomana died three days later due to injuries he sustained
from the assault and a report was made to the police leading to the arrest of
Mupingiza. Herald
