Anymore Zvitsva, accused of unleashing a wave of violent attacks that left Guruve communities living in fear has admitted to 10 serious offences, including rape, attempted murder and robbery.
Zvitsva (35) admitted responsibility for the offences during court proceedings and is expected to return to court tomorrow for a pre-sentence hearing.
Investigations revealed a disturbing pattern of attacks in which the accused allegedly targeted vulnerable individuals, often using weapons and snare wire to overpower victims.
Among the victims were a 14-year-old juvenile and a 62-year-old woman.
In several incidents, victims were reportedly tied with wire or shoelaces before being dragged into nearby mountains or bushy areas where the assaults were committed.

The accused is linked to five counts of attempted murder after allegedly stabbing victims in the neck, chest and abdomen using knives and spears, and strangling others with snare wires until they lost consciousness.
He is also accused of breaking into homes at night, sometimes wearing a balaclava, and attacking families while they slept.
In one robbery incident, a man was struck with a machete before the attacker stole a cigarette lighter, cigarettes and a soft drink.
The alleged crime spree came to an end on January 3, 2026, when the suspect was arrested.
Following his arrest, he reportedly led police to several crime scenes, resulting in key recoveries, including a red T-shirt belonging to one of the victims that had been hidden under a log near an anthill.
Authorities say the accused is also expected to face separate murder charges linked to incidents that occurred in the Guruve area during the same period.
