The accused persons in this case are charged with three separate counts of murder, assault, and arson. These three counts arise from events which took place in 2000 at Nehanda Resettlement Village, Madziwa.
All five accused pleaded not guilty to the charges against them when trial commenced in December 2006.
At the resumption of the trial, in July 2007, the court was advised that the first accused (Yomence Chaitezvi) had died on 4 of January 2007. This was later confirmed by an affidavit deposed to by his brother.
The trial duly proceeded on the same charges as against the remaining four accused who were now represented by different counsel.
