The High Court circuit in Gweru has issued warrants for the arrest of two witnesses, including Nyasha Nharingo, the second wife of Peter Dube, who is accused of fatally shooting his wife’s suspected lover and her best friend. Nharingo, who survived a bullet wound to the mouth and jaw, is crucial to testifying about the fatal shooting incident.
“The State has issued warrants of arrest for two witnesses, including Nyasha Nharingo, and from what I have gathered, they have indicated that they are no longer interested in testifying, so the case is now complicated and will be brought back to the High Court once the witnesses are available,” said Dube’s lawyer, Constance Madzudzi.
Dube allegedly shot dead Shelton Chiduku and Gamuchirai Mudungwe in 2021 after suspecting infidelity between his wife and Chiduku. He then turned the gun on his wife and her sister, Nyaradzo, but they survived. Dube fled to South Africa, then Eswatini, where he acquired a fake identity document and passport. He later flew to Ireland, where he was arrested in Dublin in 2023 for violating immigration laws.
While in Dublin, Dube claimed to be a Mozambican citizen named Armando Quenete Muchanga to avoid deportation to Zimbabwe. However, authorities in Mozambique discovered his true identity and deported him on April 3, 2024.
