A 28-YEAR-OLD man from Riverton Farm in Fort Rixon, Matabeleland South province, allegedly murdered a teenager whom he accused of being lazy.
Talent Moyo was not asked to plead when he appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Maxwell Ncube on Thursday.
He was remanded in custody to January 4 for further trial.
The now-deceased was identified as Mncedisi Sibanda from the same farm.
According to court papers, on November 9 at the farm, Moyo approached Sibanda and accused him of being lazy.
He became confrontational, forcing Sibanda to flee.
Moyo caught up with him and attacked him.
It is the State’s case that Moyo kicked Sibanda several times all over his body and strangled him, leaving him nursing injuries.
