Air Force soldier fires at cops

Two police officers based at Mabelreign Police Station allegedly escaped death by a whisker and were sent scampering for cover after an Air Force of Zimbabwe officer fired two gunshots at them when they came to his house to investigate a domestic dispute involving the AFZ officer and his wife.

The suspect, Patrick Mubaiwa (41) appeared before regional magistrate Clever Tsikwa last week facing attempted murder charges and another charge of pointing a firearm.

The incident allegedly occurred on April 29 this year following a domestic dispute between Mubaiwa and his wife, Rudo Chigumira.
