Munikwa and his daughter who is doing Form 1 appeared
before Shurugwi Magistrate Percy Mukumba recently facing charges of theft and
unlawful entry into Elizabeth Nkala (72)’s house at 23/24 Chrome Street in
Shurugwi.
It is the State case that Nkala who is related to the two
was staying with accused’s daughter including paying her fees at Booms College
in Shurugwi. Nkala ran some business and she has buildings that she is renting
out. The girl realised that Nkala kept a lot of money in the house and she
allegedly told her father about this and the two connived to steal it.
From February 2021 up to end of March 2021 the complainant
collected rentals from her shops and kept in different places in her house.
The girl connived with her father to come and steal the
money. On April 4, 2021 at about 930am the complainant and the girl left the
house for church. The accused was left hiding under some steps inside the house
by her daughter.
The complainant got home first after church as the girl
remained in town looking for bread.
She discovered that her bedroom was upside down with the
key lock broken. She realised that US$12 500 and RTGS$14 000 RTGS which was in
a purse was missing. Her son Maxwell reported the case to Police leading to the
arrest of the accused who was nabbed in Epworth. Masvingo Mirror
