Harare magistrate Yeukai Dzuda remanded the trio in custody to February 16 for trial.
It is alleged that on December 24, 2021, the three left their satchel in the custody of Kandido for safe-keeping.

They allegedly assaulted him severely. He reported the assault two days later.
A few days later, his condition deteriorated and was admitted at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, where he succumbed to the injuries.
Ruvimbo Matyatya represented the State.
