The trial of Peter Dube, who had been on the run for nearly three years after allegedly gunning down four people including his wife and her alleged boyfriend, killing two on the spot in a suspected case of a love triangle, is set to be heard on the 9th of September this year.
The matter will be heard at the High Court sitting in Gweru.
Dube, who is facing two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder, is denying the allegations.
He allegedly shot dead his wife’s suspected lover Shelton Chiduku and his wife’s best friend, Gamuchirai Mudungwe.
He then allegedly turned the gun on his wife Nyasha and her sister Nyaradzo, but the two survived the shooting.
It is alleged that Dube allegedly armed himself with a gun before he had an altercation with his wife’s suspected lover whom he shot dead.
Allegations are that he went on to shoot his wife’s best friend before proceeding to locate and shoot his wife and her sister who survived the incident.
After the incident, Dube allegedly fled to South Africa, before relocating to Eswatini, where he changed his identity.
Dube then travelled to Ireland, where he was arrested in Dublin last year for violating the country’s immigration laws.
He was allegedly using a fake identity and when he was arrested in Dublin.
He refused to be deported to Zimbabwe claiming that he was a Mozambican citizen named Armando Quenete Muchanga.
The accused was then deported to Mozambique and authorities there established that he was Zimbabwean.
Dube was deported and arrested upon arrival at the Robert Mugabe International Airport in April this year.
