Fugitive Gweru businessman, Peter Dube is set to be extradited to Zimbabwe following his arrest in Mozambique after two years on the run.
Dube is wanted by the Zimbabwe Republic Police for shooting and killing three people and injuring another in Gweru on April 23, 2021.
He was recently convicted in Ireland of violating immigration laws before being deported to Mozambique after he claimed to be a citizen of that country.
He had assumed another alias, Armando Quenete Muchanga after he allegedly fraudulently acquired a Mozambican passport.
He is currently in the custody of Mozambican authorities pending investigations into how he acquired the Mozambican passport.
ZRP national spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the development.
He was using a passport with the name Armando Quenete Muchanga with the date of birth of June 21, 1985. He is currently in custody pending further investigations.
He will also undergo due court processes that will allow his extradition back into the country.
Recently, Asst Comm Nyathi said that the ZRP had engaged Interpol to have Dube extradited back into the country from Mozambique.
Allegations are that on April 23, 2021, Dube, who was a car dealer, shot and killed his second wife, Nyasha Nharingo’s suspected lover Shelton Chinhango, who was also a car dealer.
Chinhango was shot dead in cold blood while seated in a minibus parked outside a flat in Gweru’s central business district, where Nyasha lived.
After shooting Chinhango, Dube turned the gun on his second wife’s best friend, Gamuchirai Mudungwe, whom he also shot and killed.
Dube allegedly went on to shoot Nyasha and her sister Nyaradzo, and the latter died in hospital.
After the shootings, Dube reportedly fled to South Africa, before relocating to Eswatini, where he changed his identity to Xolile Mtsali.
From Eswatini, he travelled to Ireland, where he sought asylum but was arrested on 14 June after he was exposed.
Dube was arrested at a refugee facility in Dublin, before being convicted by the Dublin District Court for violating that country’s immigration laws.
