On Saturday, Shingirai (23) appeared before Mutare magistrate Tamara Chibindi, who remanded him to January 30 on $1 000 bail.
It is the State’s case that on the day in question, Shingirai, who was reportedly stopped from selling the family’s two oxen, threatened his parents with death.
His parents then ran for dear life after which he torched the family’s house, destroying property worth $90 000.
Shingirai is denying the charge.
