Norbert Chikerema has been sentenced to life in prison after he was found guilty of murdering his wife
Norbert Chikerema has been jailed for life after he was found
guilty of murdering his wife and dumping her body in a supermarket car
park, according to the Birmingham Mail.
Chikerema, 42 was told by the Birmingham Crown Court he would serve
a minimum of 22 years after he struck Nyasha Kahari, a mother of four,
at least 40 times with numerous weapons, including an axe, before
driving her body to Lidl in Tile Cross.
The court heard previously that Chikerema and his wife, also known
as Gillian, ran a nursing home business and that he believed she was
seeing another man.
On January 29 this year they visited a number of addresses, leaving
the last one at 11pm and shortly afterwards the defendant attacked his
wife.
She had been sitting in the front seat of their Nissan and he used
an axe to strike his wife over and over again aiming principally at the
head and neck.
Stephen Davies, District Crown Prosecutor with West Midlands Crown Prosecution Service, said: “Unable
to cope with his belief that his wife was having an extramarital
affair, Norbert Chikerema armed himself with an axe, took his wife to an
unknown location and launched a frenzied and fatal attack on her.
“This was a premeditated killing where the defendant had taken weapons with him to the scene and used them to commit the crime.
“Our thoughts are today with the family and friends of Nyasha Kahari.”
Chikerema had previously employed a private detective to follow his
wife and during the course of that morning had sent a video to a number
of family friends of her meeting another man who he knew.
He attacked cars of two men he believed had been seeing his wife
with the axe before eventually driving to a Lidl supermarket in
Mackadown Lane and phoned police at around 4am.
Chikerema, 42, of Overdale Road, Quinton, had denied murder and it
was claimed he was suffering from an abnormality of mind function at the
time.
