The prophet was jailed for an effective 26 years while his aide was jailed for an effective 12 years for armed robbery and illegal possession of a firearm by Gwanda regional magistrate, Mr Mark Dzira.

The prophet, Christopher Chamisa (26) of Village 4 Munyamani, Chief Maranda in Mwenezi and his 17-year-old aide were also remanded in custody to June 15 on murder charges when they appeared before Gwanda magistrate, Ms Nomagugu Ncube.
