: Two Mutare men have been sentenced to 45 years in prison each for the murder of Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services officer Tapiwa Mutyasira (29), whose body was found dumped on the Mutare-Harare railway line in Chikanga.
Between the 3rd of March and 4th of March 2023, the offenders, Brighton Gowero (29) and Takunda Makoni (21), acting together with an accomplice identified only as Courage (currently on the run), brutally assaulted the now deceased with unknown objects, causing fatal injuries.
They then stole his two cellphones and dumped his body on the railway line in an attempt to conceal the murder which was committed during the robbery.
The deceased’s remains were later run over by a goods train, whose driver initially mistook the body for discarded material on the track.
A post-mortem carried out at Victoria Chitepo Provincial Hospital confirmed that Mutyasira died from polytrauma - multiple injuries resulting from a violent attack.
