Farai Dziva|The brother of the man who allegedly murdered a university student has disclosed how the grisly offence was committed.

Chinhoyi University of Technology (CUT)student Angela Dapi, was brutally murdered at the Elizabeth Hotel in Harare.

According to H-Metro the alleged killer Richard Nenohwe’s brother Munyaradzi and his two uncles Rufasi and Wellington, were well received by Angela’s family for the gesture they had undertaken.

Speaking to H-Metro, Richard’s brother Munyaradzai said:
He (Richard) informed me through a text message. He said we had an argument, and I asked why, and he said he (Richard) had cheated on his girlfriend.

I asked him again on what transpired for that argument to result in this situation, and he just typed again saying they just had an argument.

He said due to this, it was no longer necessary for him to live anymore.

…After doing what he did, he sent his workmate and friend Tinashe in Shurugwi a message saying: ‘I have killed my girlfriend and I cut myself and I’m bleeding to death’
But for myself, he once called me and I recorded that call.

He was just asking saying, ‘do you want to know?’
And I kept asking him, ‘to know what’?
And he just said, I have cut my wrist and I am bleeding to death. I asked him where he was and why he cut himself and many other questions, but he just said: ‘I will tell you when I am about to die’.
So I did not know what to do then.

After that, that’s where I got the message and I started looking for Tinashe’s uncle, their boss.
That was when we started looking for Richard. We then went to the police and told them that we were receiving disturbing calls and messages from someone who was not telling us his whereabouts.

We heard he sometimes goes to Hotel Elizabeth, but he had booked using a wrong name, so the police gave up looking for him.

Another shift manager came and checked in his hotel booking records and also confirmed that Rich ard was not booked in.

He then said to us: “There is a receipt here. Maybe they used the wrong surname during the printing.”
That was when we saw Richard’s phone number. He was booked in Room 108, Hotel Elizabeth. That was when we and the police rushed to that room, trying to open the door. The police were shouting: ‘Open the door, open the door!’
Richard was answering saying, “Mukudei ndatadze chiyi?”
So I was now just quiet wondering what was happening inside.

The police eventually opened the door and I could immediately tell that Richard was drunk.
We then saw the girl’s lifeless body on the bed and she was naked. Richard had cut his throat so he was bleeding profusely.
I did not focus on him from then as we were now hunting for the Dapi family and worried about how to approach them.

I haven’t paid much attention to him even up to today though when I last talked to him, he was talking faintly, but he seemed like he was recovering”
