The Guruve serial murderer, Anymore Zvitsva, accused of a series of violent crimes in Mashonaland Central has appeared in court from a hospital bed.
Zvitsva was brought to the local hospital after sustaining injuries on his left leg from gunshot after he was apprehended.
He was formally charged and remanded in custody as investigations continue.
The suspect from Vheremu village under Chief Chipuriro in Guruve, faces 12 counts of murder, along with charges of rape and attempted murder.
The suspected serial killer is under heavy police guard at a hospital in Harare.
He was remanded in custody until January 19, by Harare provincial magistrate Vakayi Chikwekwe.
Allegations are that his offences were committed between April 2024 and December 2025 in Guruve and Mvurwi, according to official documents.
According to the State, Zvitsva was arrested on January 3, following a prolonged manhunt that ended in mountainous terrain where he was hiding to evade police and charging villagers.
An affidavit filed by the CID Homicide Unit links him to multiple attacks targeting victims in their homes, fields and grazing areas.
The affidavit states that the accused allegedly used snare wire, knives, machetes, spears, poison and shoelaces during the commission of the offences.
