A broadcast journalist's boyfriend is behind bars facing murder charges after a drunken dispute. Fungai Quinton Tawengwa stood before Harare magistrate Ms Ruth Moyo regarding the death of Cordelia Maseluthilini. The judge ordered him to stay in custody and directed his legal team to the High Court for any bail attempts, since lower courts cannot handle such heavy allegations.

Prosecutor Mr Lawrence Gangarahwe claims the trouble started while the pair downed beers at Helensville Shopping Centre in Borrowdale. They planned to head toward their residence in Domboshava but heavy storms forced them to take cover at a property on Whisper Road for several hours.

Witnesses suggest a fight broke out when Maseluthilini refused to leave with Tawengwa. They eventually walked away toward the main road once the downpour stopped. Pedestrians later found her lifeless body lying in a pool of blood near a house along the Borrowdale-Domboshava route the following morning.

Authorities moved the remains to Parirenyatwa Hospital Mortuary for a post-mortem to confirm the specific cause of death. Police officers apprehended Tawengwa after connecting him to the scene. He remains locked up while detectives finish gathering evidence before his next scheduled appearance later this month.
