HARARE – Convicted socialite, Felistas Murata, better known as Mai Titi, was Wednesday sent back to remand prison after the presiding magistrate in her fraud trial moved her sentencing date to this Thursday.
Harare magistrate Munashe Chibanda said she wants to consider findings by the community service vetting department in her ruling.
This follows allegations that she absconded court in another criminal case while there is another pending assault case.
“New information has emerged through community service vetting with regards to her eligibility to get community service.
“They have indicated that they will need some time to investigate the new information,” said prosecutor Monalisa Magwenzi further suggesting that Murata be remanded to Friday.
The comedienne was Tuesday convicted for fraud and theft.
The State proved that she used a hired vehicle to settle a US$10,000 sometime last year.
