Instead of taking his injured son to the hospital for medical care, he locked him up inside the house which led to his death.Masiya alongside his second wife, Tambudzai Gotekote (29) buried the child without alerting their relatives or neighbours so as to cover up their offence.
It was gathered that Masiya told the his first wife, the child's mother that he was missing which prompted her to report the case to the police.
Investigations led to the duo's arrest and Masiya confessed to killing his son.
Masiya and Gotekote were not formally charged with murder when they appeared before magistrate Ms Blesssing Murwisi but were advised to apply for bail at the High Court due to the seriousness of the offence.
The court heard that Masiya fatally assaulted his son Trymore which led to his death. He and Gotekote, his second wife concealed his death and secretly buried him in a bush which is between Crowborough and Kuwadzana suburbs.
