The four Zimbabweans who were at the weekend arrested in connection with the murder of a fellow countryman whose eyes and private parts they then removed in a suspected ritual murder in South Africa yesterday appeared in court.
Innocent Muvembi (26), Johannes Chikukuta (31), Ngonidzahse Mapfumo (26) and Blessing Hove (17) were not asked to plead by a Musina magistrate.
They were remanded in custody to March 22.
They are accused of killing Munyaradzi Muthetwa and then hanging his body from a tree in Musina to feign suicide. Allegations are that they stabbed him to death between 8 and 11 March.
After the murder they allegedly removed his eyes and private parts.
The body was discovered last Friday afternoon by police patrolling the area.
Investigations led to the quartet's arrest.
The missing body parts are yet to be recovered. -
