The State, alleges that on March, 31, 2023, at around 0200 hours, he and the now deceased Melody Musikanzwi, 30, were at number 3148 Old Tafara and they had a misunderstanding.
Musanza and Musikanzwi started fighting resulting in Musanza grabbing an Okapi and kitchen knives to stab Musikanzwi on both thighs, nose, neck, both arms, breasts, cheeks and left ear.
A report was made and ZRP Mabvuku and C.I.D attended the scene of crime.
Musikanzwi was found in a pool of blood in her spare bedroom and was taken to Parirenyatwa Hospital for a post mortem.
On the other hand Musanza was found on the bed lying unconsciously. It was noted that he had also been stabbed with a knife on his chest.
