Obvious Matake was not asked to plead when he appeared before Harare magistrate Evelyn Mashavakure.
He was advised to approach the High Court for bail application since he is facing a third schedule offence.
He will be back in court on March 1 pending finalisation of investigations.
It is the State’s case that sometime in December last year, the now deceased proposed love to Rutendo Zinyama, who stays with Matake.
The court heard that Rutendo is the daughter of the deceased’s girlfriend, Mazamanga Elizabeth.
It is alleged that Rutendo told Matake that the deceased had proposed love to her.
This did not go down well with Matake, who told Rutendo to pretend as if she had accepted his proposal.
