A 29-YEAR-OLD Doubt Mathe from Chief Chireya area in Gokwe North has been sentenced to death by High Court judge Justice Nicholas Mathonsi.
Mathe was on Wednesday convicted over the murder of Taurayi Mache, who was guarding Grafax Cotton Company premises on June 14, 2008.
Mathe struck Mache with a hoe handle on the head leading to his death, after his robbery bid was foiled by the deceased.
Justice Mathonsi said Mache's killing was preconceived and brutal and that a heavy sentence was necessary in the circumstances to send a clear message on the need to respect the sanctity of life.
