By A Correspondent- A notorious Muzarabani thief swept clean a fellow villager’s head after he stole 40 sheep from the grazing land which he loaded in a truck for resale.

The matter came to light at the Guruve magistrates courts yesterday where Obvious Muvezwa (29) stood before magistrate Shingirai Mutiro facing theft charges.

Mutiro sentenced Muvezwa to an effective 4years behind bars for stock theft.

The court heard that on April 25 Muvezwa went to the grazing land where Kingston Zisengwe had left Patricia Chikore’s sheep.

Muvezwa with his two accomplices who are still at large hatched a plan to steal the sheep and they hired a truck.

The trio loaded the stolen sheep and passed through both to ZRP Muzarabani and Veterinary department for clearance.

The trio managed to clear the stock and went to Tynwald South, Harare where they intended to sale the sheep.

The complainant filed a police report lading to the arrest of the suspect.Only 23 sheep were recovered.
