Thomas Nyamhunga (43) was facing murder charges when he
appeared before a Mbare magistrate who remanded him in custody pending trial.
Only the High Court can grant bail in murder cases..
Allegations are that on Sunday at around 7pm, Nyamhunga
went to the house of his girlfriend Needmore Kudzai Mauka in Mufakose and found
her not at home.
But her children were there and he allegedly called his
girlfriend to enquire where she was.
The State alleges he had a misunderstanding with Ms Mauka
over the phone.
Nyamhunga then slept on the bed in the company of the boy
while another child was on the floor.
It is alleged that at around 8:30pm, Nyamhunga took a
kitchen knife from the kitchen drawer and cut the throat of the boy three
times, killing him.
He then stabbed the other child sleeping on the floor.
It is alleged that the child woke up screaming and ran out
of the room to a neighbour with a cut on the throat.
Nyamhunga, who is also facing a domestic violence charge,
then fled from the scene.
Concerning the domestic violence charge, it is alleged that
on October 25, Nyamhunga went to Ms Mauka’s house and demanded reimbursement of
US$5.
She told him she had no money and he started slapping and
punching her. Herald
