Carlos shot his wife and her siblings in what is suspected to be following an infidelity brawl.
"The situation at ground leaves much to be desired. However, one wonders how a serving soldier could leave Mutate to Bulawayo in full military gear/ combat with a loaded AK 47. This means some soldiers are not in barracks. This calls for concerted effort from all who respect the rule of law and the constitution of Zimbabwe," Sibanda said.
"On behalf of Magwegwe community and the bereaved family, request the parties in the MDC Alliance and other like minded civil leaders to chip in ,in kind and cash to the family, at House No 1604,New Magwegwe,Bulawayo."
