Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Thulani Ncube, a 42-year-old shop owner at Nyimo Business Centre, appeared before the Kadoma Magistrates\u2019 Court on Thursday, facing two counts of murder.<\/p>\n

According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the charges stem from a tragic incident that occurred on January 16, 2025, at the Nyimo Business Centre.<\/p>\n

Ncube is accused of shooting and killing his wife, Nyengeterayi Chakauya (42), and her cousin, Canaan Shumba (32), following a heated confrontation over drinking beer at Ncube\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

The NPA alleges that Ncube first shot and killed Shumba on the spot. He then reportedly chased after Nyengeterayi and fatally shot her behind their cottage before fleeing the scene.<\/p>\n

Ncube was later apprehended on a bus at Kadoma\u2019s Waverly terminus, where a pistol was recovered from his satchel.
\nThe accused shop owner will return to court on February 4 for a routine remand hearing.<\/p>\n
