Evans Chikore (29), of Luwana Farm in Kadoma, armed himself with an axe and visited his parents’ homestead in Marimari South, where he attacked his 61-year-old father with stones before he fatally struck him with an axe.

He threatened to kill his mother and set fire to four rondavels and a shed at the homestead.

Chikore also set on fire two huts belonging to his father’s neighbour before fatally strucking their son with the axe on the forehead.
