Joshua Nkomo family guard 'murderer' arrested

POLICE have arrested a man suspected to have killed a security guard employed by the family of the late Vice President Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo in Bulawayo.

A neighbour found the body of Yowane Ngwenya (24) at Granite Site near Mqabuko Heights on Saturday.

Allegations are that Ngonidzashe Mutasa (24), an unlicensed driver, ran over Ngwenya as he attempted to flee after being caught stealing sand.

Bulawayo Magistrate Mr Tinashe Tashaya yesterday did not ask Mutasa to plead to a murder charge and remanded him in custody to December 7.
