Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe to Remain in Custody Until March
Two men, Chatunga Mugabe and Tobias Mugabe Matonhodze, appeared before the Alexandra Magistrates’ Court facing serious allegations that have drawn public attention.
The charges laid against them include attempted murder, defeating the ends of justice, and unlawful possession of a firearm.
According to proceedings in court, the firearm allegedly linked to the case has not yet been recovered, a development that has added another layer of complexity to the matter.
The court heard initial submissions as the accused stood in the dock, listening quietly while the charges were read out.
The magistrate ordered that both men remain in custody until 3 March, when they are expected to make a formal bail application.
Until then, investigations are ongoing as authorities continue searching for the missing firearm and gathering further evidence.
The case has sparked widespread discussion, with many awaiting the next court appearance to see how the matter unfolds.
