The suspect allegedly confessed that he committed the offence after waking up from a nightmare.

Meanwhile, police in Chipinge are appealing for information which may assist in the investigation of a case of murder in which Peter Sithole Machaka (19) was found dead lying in a pool of blood at Plot 13 Glendalough Farm.
