The trio was not asked to plead to a murder charge, but advised to apply for bail at the High Court.
A Mazowe miner was fatally stabbed by three suspected robbers at his mine during a midnight robbery.
The matter came to light at the Bindura magistrates courts on Friday where Michael Mutodza, Moses Damba and Takudzwa Moyo appeared before magistrate Tinashe Ndokera in connection with the murder of Tawanda Muchifana.
The trio was not asked to plead to a murder charge, but advised to apply for bail at the High Court.
Prosecutor Shiella Kudzai Maribha alleged that on July 7, the trio broke into the now deceased's house and demanded cash before fatally stabbing him on the chest.
They left him in a pool of blood and went to rob other miners of their belongings.
