A suspect who allegedly killed a rival in a dispute over a girlfriend in Durban, South Africa, was arrested on Sunday after being on the run for a week.
Tinashe Hove (20) allegedly fled from Durban to Zimbabwe and went into hiding in Harare, where he was apprehended at an unnamed location.
Tinashe appeared before Harare magistrate Dennis Mangosi, who ordered him in jail until November 22.
He was instructed to apply to the High Court for bail considerations because he is charged with a third schedule crime.
