Eunice Shoko stood in for the state.
It is the state that on December 16, Laura was found dead along the Beitbridge Road by passersby after having gone missing on Friday night following an alleged misunderstanding with her boyfriend.
A postmortem was done at Masvingo Provincial Hospital which confirmed that Laura was murdered as she had a broken neck and was hit by a blunt object on the head.
She was laid to rest in Marondera where her family is based.
