A two-year-old, left unattended, was last month burnt to death when the house he was sleeping in caught fire while the mother was out for a beer binge.
The mother, Vongai Maseure (20), her boyfriend Owen Ncube and another companion Rumbidzai Masunda, have since appeared in court facing charges of culpable homicide.
The three this week appeared before Kwekwe provincial magistrate Taurai Manwere for allegedly negligently causing the death of two-year-old Wayne Dhururu.
It is the State's case that on April 27, Maseure left her son sleeping alone at her Nheketwa home in Silobela while going for a beer drink at Nheketwa shopping centre. Masunda and Ncube, who are lovers, then asked to use Maseure's house to have fun and were given the green light to do so.
