A man from Domboshava who married a 13-year-old girl who died in the shrine of the Apostolic Church during labor has appeared in court.
Raymond Juhua (41) allegedly took his wife who was in labor to the unregistered Apostolic Shrine of Johan Marange to be checked on by a midwife.
They arrived around 9am and met Dorcas Kaganda at Chidiyahosiko village under the leadership of Chief Chinamhura but the child bride faced complications and Kaganda told Juhua that she could not help his wife deliver the baby.
The court heard that Guhua hired a pirate taxi and took his wife to the shrine of the apostolic sect Chitungwiza where the wife died without getting proper medical care.
Guhua appeared before Harare magistrate Mr Stanford Nderwe on charges of murder.
He was remanded in custody until February 9 to apply for bail. Mr. Anesu Chirenje appeared representing the country. Announce
