By Court Correspondent | The judgment in the case involving ZANU PF member Mr. Pius Jamba, accused of murdering former Zengeza MP Job Sikhala ‘s client Moreblessing Ali, a CCC mother of two, has been postponed to December 4, 2023. High Court judge Esther Muremba mentioned that she is still considering the verdict after the State presented its case last week.

Jamba allegedly killed Ali, decapitated her, and disposed of her body in a well at his mother’s homestead in Beatrice in June 2022.

Despite seven witnesses testifying against him, including his mother and sister, Jamba denies the charges, claiming he was framed due to political tension in the Nyatsime area.

The incident began at a Night Club in Nyatsime where Ali had a confrontation with Jamba. After leaving the club with her friend Mayironi, Ali was allegedly attacked by Jamba, leading to a struggle. Mayironi was injured during the altercation, and Jamba fled the scene, claiming he was coerced into admitting the crime later.

“He pelted stones from the catapult and threw bricks directed at the night club so that nobody would manage to apprehend him or rescue the now-deceased…

“The accused took the now deceased from the vicinity of Chibhanguza Night Club to an unknown secluded place
