Sunday Mail reported that Remayi, who recently appeared before Bulawayo High Court judge Justice Evangelista Kabasa, was sentenced to 18 years in prison after being found guilty of murder.
Despite pleading not guilty, Remayi admitted his anger was triggered by the phone call.
“I dialled the number using my phone, and a man answered. This made me angry, as I suspected she was cheating on me,” he told the court.
According to testimony, the argument turned violent, with Remayi hitting his girlfriend with a steel chair, fists, and feet. He locked the door and continued the assault for nearly an hour.
The victim’s co-tenant, Evidence Denhere, heard the screams and attempted to intervene, but Remayi refused to stop.
“No one could stop him as he had locked the door,” Denhere testified.
The brutal beating left the woman half-n_ked and severely injured. A neighbour, Cynthia Chaleka, found her bleeding and covered her with a blanket. Despite being rushed to the hospital, she died from the injuries days later.
The Arrest
Police arrested Remayi, recovering the iron bar used in the assault. His defence claimed the deadly violence began after his girlfriend bit him during their argument. He insisted he had no intention of killing her, but the court rejected his explanation, finding him responsible for her death.
The tragic incident has shocked the local community, with many expressing outrage over the senseless killing. Remayi now faces nearly two decades behind bars for the brutal crime.
