A man who was arrested on Monday for making barbaric killings of street kids in the Harare CBD has been further detained in custody.
Thandolwenkosi Ndlovu, 20, appeared before magistrate Dennis Mangosi on murder allegations.
Ndlovu, also known as Sauro, was arrested in connection with five murder cases which took place in Central Business District from August 28 to September 4.
He is believed to been living in the streets and would target street kids sleeping, crushing their heads before cutting open their stomachs to remove genitals and other body parts using broken empty bottles.
He would then boil or braai the body parts on any open fire and consume them.
The State, through prosecutor Zebediah Bofu, said there was need for more time for the police to make indications at the scenes where the alleged crime was committed, as a result they were applying for further detention.
Ndlovu was against the submissions, claiming that he was not denying the allegations.
“I am opposed to the application, there is no need for us to do all that process since l am admitting to the allegations. I am not denying them,” he said.
On September 4, 2023, he was arrested after police detectives tracked him along Rotten Row Road, Harare after he allegedly tried to attack a street kid who did not bother to make a police report.
He is being accused of five murder cases which occurred on August 28, 2023 at Corner of George Silundika Avenue and Simon Muzenda Street, Harare, September 1, 2023 at Corner Inez Terrace Road and Robert Mugabe, Harare, September 3, 2023 at Corner Nelson Mandela Avenue and 7th Street, Harare and on September 4, 2023 at Corner of Cripps Road and Remembrance Road, Harare.
The application was granted he will appear in court on September 7 for his initial appearance.
“The accused is in safe hands even though he is denying the application. For completeness of the record be must be taken for indications,” said Mangosi.
