The High Court sitting at Gweru has sentenced two men from Shurugwi, Jeremiah Donhora and Kudakwashe Ncube, to 20 years in prison for the brutal murder of Bernard Canaan Ngulube in 2017. The duo, along with an accomplice who remains at large, was convicted for the violent assault on Ngulube, whom they accused of theft.

The court described the actions of Donhora and Ncube as callous and premeditated, underscoring the brutality of the assault. As a result, both men were sentenced to serve 20 years in prison for their crime.
