Man Kills Two Girlfriends for Money | Bindura Girls Buried
A Shurugwi man has been jailed for killing two girlfriends for their vehicles and money. Emmanuel Mahembe was handed two life prison sentences for the murders by the High Court.
Mahembe disposed of the bodies, burying one in a riverbed and dumping the other in a disused mine shaft. He pleaded not guilty to murder but was convicted after a full trial of murder with actual intent.
The court heard that sometime between August 2021 and September 2022, Mahembe met Patricia Mutero and proposed love to her. Mutero and Mahembe became romantically involved. Mahembe was in the relationship for financial gains.
In September 2022 the two were at Donga Business Center, Shurugwi and Mahembe drove Mutero’s motor vehicle, a Honda fit to Dhanga Dip Tank where he murdered her, wrapped the body in a blanket and buried it along Gwamamvura riverbed before driving off in her motor vehicle.
He later sold the motor vehicle. In 2021, Mahembe met Idah Chigumbete and proposed love to her.
The two became romantically involved and on May 22, 2021, the two drove to the home of Chigumbate’s sister in Shurugwi. Along the way, the two had a misunderstanding over money.

The five girls who were mowed down by a car in Bindura have been laid to rest. The five were:
- Rachel Saidi (13),
- Makanaka Nemhara (9),
- Ashleigh Mabheka (13),
- Chipo Chikanda (13) and
- Misiyose Benjamin (14).
Among the group, Ashel Mabheka (11) survived. Mr Albert Mabheka lost his daughter, Ashleigh, and his second daughter, Ashel, is currently battling for her life at Bindura Hospital.
Mr Mabheka said, “From what I heard my two daughters, along with Chipo and Misiyose left the compound to visit their uncle’s daughter Rachel. They wanted to shop for clothes in Bindura when they were run over by the vehicle. They were facing towards town with their backs to the vehicle when they were hit. I cannot explain the pain that I am feeling and I don’t know how I will overcome this grief.”
Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution Christopher Magomo, Secretary of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Zanu PF and Government officials visited the families to pay their condolences to the bereaved families.
