Magutshwa (37) was not asked to plead to the murder charge when he appeared before Gokwe magistrate Shepherd Mjanja on Tuesday.

He was remanded in custody to May 13.

The court heard that on July 20 2009 at Majerimane village under Chief Nemangwe, Magutshwa allegedly assaulted his daughter Silungile (19) using a stick.

The girl allegedly died on the spot, prompting Magutshwa to flee the area until his arrest in April this year.
