Ex-Soldier Jailed Six Years - AllAfrica.com
Harare regional magistrate Mr Hosea Mujaya sentenced Muture to nine years in prison before suspending three years for five years, on condition of good behaviour. Prosecutor Mr Ephraim Zinyandu, proved that on December 12 last year, Mutsure was in the company of accomplices Tinashe Muguti, Tinashe Matinyenya, Eden Chikahamadze and Forge Nyono, who are still on the run. The court heard that the gang was driving a white Mazda B-series truck and they blocked Silence Mwanjila's car, a silver Toyata Raum. Mutsure drew a pistol and pointed it on Mwanjila's forehead demanding $20 000. He then ordered Muhezwa and other passengers, Takudzwa Changayi and Philip Chakanyuka to disembark and lie on the ground. They forced the victims into Mutsure's car while one of his accomplices took over Mwanjila's car. On March 22 this year, Kadoma Criminal Investigations Department (CID) detectives received a tip-off that armed robbers were roaming Rumwe Shopping Centre. Detectives proceeded to the shopping centre and Hakurotwi withdrew a pistol, but was shot first. Mutsure was arrested on April 29 in Zengeza 3, Chitungwiza following a high-speed chase.
