Musician Gift Hombarume, known as Chillmaster, stays free after killing a pedestrian. Mbare magistrate Tatenda Mukurunge gave him a suspended two-year jail term for running over Custon Charumbira on April 9. He must pay a $200 fine because he drove without a license. He needs to complete community service at Stoneridge Primary School instead of going to jail.
The Charumbira family told the court they had forgiven him already. His sister Lucia said Hombarume helped them with all expenses during the funeral. The magistrate noted this when deciding his punishment. She called him a first-time offender who showed he felt sorry.
Court records say Hombarume promised to give cattle to prevent avenging spirits. He agreed to pay for schooling until the dead man's children finish their education. He also promised to buy food for the family every month.
