Three months of their sentence were suspended for three years on condition they do not commit a similar offence, leaving each to serve an effective three months.
The prosecutor, Ms Audrey Kufandikanwe, told the court that the incident occurred on August 2. “On that day, complainant Washington Moyo (32) was at his workplace in Kelvin North industrial area when a client brought in a white GD6 Toyota Hilux for repairs.
After finishing work around 6PM, Moyo parked the vehicle inside the company yard and went home,” said Ms Kufandikanwe.
Later that night, Nkomo and Dube, who were also employed at the same company, returned after hours, took the vehicle without Moyo’s consent and drove into the city.
Their reckless outing ended in tragedy when they were involved in a fatal collision, killing Bhunu and leaving the vehicle extensively damaged.
Police investigations confirmed they had taken the car without permission, leading to their arrest.
Nkomo is set to appear alone in court on August 21 to face a separate charge of culpable homicide over Bhunu’s death.
