Zimbabwe: Eye-Gouging Cops Convicted

22 November 2017

Five police officers who gouged a civilian's right eye after assaulting him with baton sticks at the intersection of Kenneth Kaunda Avenue and Julius Nyerere Way in March this year have been found guilty and will be sentenced on Friday. The five are Livingstone Zvimba, Tendai Musungambira, Sunday Nyaude, Khululekani Dale and Evans Mashonganyika. They pleaded not guilty, but Harare magistrate Mr Farai Gwitima convicted them after a full trial.

In their defence, the five insisted that they did not commit the crime although they were at the crime scene. They said it was dark and raining on the day in question and there were a lot of people around the scene and more than five Police Reaction Group (PRG) details.
