A Zimbabwean clergyman was on Monday arraigned before a Harare Magistrate
Court on charges of culpable homicide after he reportedly drowned one of his
members during baptism.
The 37-year-old Prophet Masimba Chirayi , who oversees the New
Johane Masowe eChishanu Church in Epworth was denied an opportunity to
plead, but was remanded in custody by Magistrate Tilda Mazhande until April 30,
pending finalisation of investigations.
NEWSDAY reports that State Prosecutor, Magistrate Tilda
Mazhande, told the court that on April 14 at Nyaure River in Cheza village,
Chirayi was baptising and cleansing members of his church in a river and he
submerged the now-deceased, Wendy Masuka, in the pool where she allegedly
drowned.
