Tapiwa was murdered in September 2020 before his body was chopped into pieces

HIGH COURT judge Justice Munamato Mutevedzi has convicted Tapiwa Makore Snr and Tafadzwa Shamba for the gruesome of a Murehwa minor for ritual purposes.

Young Tapiwa Makore (seven) was murdered in September 2020 before his body was chopped into pieces, with his torso found being mauled by dogs a day after his brutal murder.

 Other body parts were recovered from a pit latrine at his uncle and namesake’s homestead.

The boy was buried almost a year later with his head missing after government and traditional leaders intervened in the impasse.

Makore (Snr) had denied the charge although his domestic worker Shamba confessed and made graphic indications on how they killed the boy.

 

 

The judge ruled evidence was clear that Shamba killed the boy on orders from his employer, Makore Snr. Sentence will be handed down on July 12.
