War vet killer referred for psychiatric exam

A 26-YEAR-OLD Marondera man who axed his war veteran employer to death before fleeing with his vehicle last year has been referred for psychiatric examination after exhibiting “weird” behaviour in court.

Tapiwa Murombo of Plot 26, Rhodesdale Farm, who is also facing theft charges, refused to respond to questions by the State during mitigation, prompting magistrate Jabulani Mzinyathi to refer him to be examined by psychiatrists.

He will be back in court tomorrow.
