Triple murder rap for man kicked out of Ireland
Zimbabwean hunted by Interpol nabbed after landing at airport
THIS man is set to go on trial in his homeland for a triple murder – after being kicked out of Ireland.
Zimbabwe national Peter Dube, who was the subject of an Interpol manhunt, was arrested by cops after he landed at Robert Mugabe International Airport in Harare on Wednesday afternoon.
He flew in from neighbouring Mozambique after he had been deported there from Dublin earlier this year.
The businessman was arrested in Dublin last June after he was found to be living in a facility for international protection applicants in the city under a false passport.
The 38-year-old was charged with an offence here, before being convicted and deported to Mozambique – with the false passport he entered Ireland with.
Mozambique authorities then moved against him for having a false passport and sent him back to Zimbabwe, where cops were waiting to arrest him in connection with a gruesome triple murder in 2021.
Car dealer Dube has been sought since his second wife Nyasha Nharingo and her suspected lover Shelton Chinhango were shot dead in the city of Gweru in April 2021. Nyasha’s friend Gamuchirai
Mudungwe was also shot dead in the incident.
Nyasaha’s sister Nyaradzo was also shot in the ambush – but survived.
Dube was in custody last night in Zimbabwe and was set to go on trial.
A Zimbabwe police spokesman said: “Firstly, we would like to thank Zimbabweans for their patience as we were conducting investigations as the Zimbabwe Republic Police and I want to make it clear that Peter Dube has not been extradited, what happened is that he has been deported from the Republic of Mozambique due to fake identity and travel documents, anything else in terms of the investigations and the court appearance will be advised in due course.”
Zimbabwe cops believed Dube had fled to Ireland after spending time in Swaziland, a state some 1,100km from Zimbabwe, which is now known as Eswatini.
The officer said: “Ongoing investigations confirm that he disappeared and left the country.
“New leads show that he jumped the border and started living in Eswatini under the alias Xolile Mtsali.
“He then relocated to Ireland, where he sought asylum.”
