Prosecutor Mr Ephraim Zinyandu proved that on December 12 last year, Mutsure was in the company of his accomplices Tinashe Muguti, Tinashe Matinyenya, Eden Chikahamadze and... The court heard that the gang was driving a white Mazda B-series truck and they blocked Silence Mwanjila's car, a silver Toyota Raum. Mutsure drew a pistol and pointed it at 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. Mutsure's accomplices, who were wielding machetes, knives and iron bars, stole their cellphones. 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 around Rumwe Shopping Centre. Mutsure was arrested on April 29 in Zengeza 3, Chitungwiza following a high-speed police chase. Source: allafrica.com
