22 March 2012 :

A security guard who killed his teenage sister-in-law was sentenced to death in Zimbabwe.
Chris Chakuforo abducted Esther Nyarai Kamupini from Murindagomo Village and strangled her before dumping the corpse in an 18 metre deep disused mineshaft.
Investigations led to the arrest of Chakuforo, who was at the time detained at Chinhoyi Police Station, for allegedly damaging his employer's property. Chakuforo later led the police to the mineshaft where the girl's remains were found.
Justice Samuel Kudya imposed a death penalty on Chakuforo after convicting him of murder with actual intent. The court could not find extenuating circumstances in the case to warrant the man to escape the hangman's noose.
Automatically Chakuforo is entitled to appeal against the outcome at the Supreme Court and if the decision is upheld, he might join the 54 others who are still on death row.
