They allegedly killed and mutilated the then seven-year-old boy to boost Tapiwa Snr’s cabbage business. Tapiwa was a Grade One learner at Nyamutumbu Primary School and his teacher, Keresia Makamure, described him as an intelligent, obedient child whose future was bright. The boy was sent by his parents to look after the garden on the morning of 17 September 2020. Later that day, Tapiwa’s parents went to the garden to do some watering and found that their son was missing. His parents and some villagers started searching for him and the search was conducted until midnight but they could not find him. On the following day, 18 September, in the morning, a neighbour reportedly woke up and discovered his dog and its puppies feasting on human body parts in his yard. He then informed Tapiwa’s parents and a report was made to the police. The body’s head was missing. Several arrests people were arrested in connection with the murder, including Thanks Makore, Tapiwa’s uncle amid allegations that he was given the boy’s head and arms. Thanks was said to be a twin brother of Tapiwa Makore Snr, and a cousin of Munyaradzi Makore, Tapiwa Makore Jnr’s father. On 13 October 2022, Justice Mutevedzi formally acquitted Thanks Makore and another suspect Moud Hunidzarira of the murder of Tapiwa Makore Jnr at the close of the prosecution case. Hunidzarira of Budiriro, Harare, was arrested during the weekend of 31 October and 01 November 2020 following a tip-off by the public. It was alleged that she was in Murewa when the murder occurred and a few days later was seen by some neighbours in Harare, cleaning an item that had blood. However, the State withdrew the charges against the two for lack of incriminating evidence. As the charges were withdrawn after plea, the two can never be retried using any of the evidence led during their trial.
