Banker’s son killer jailed

A ROBBER who was found in possession of a gun that killed top banker Joshua Tapambgwa’s son, David during a robbery in July, was yesterday sentenced to one year imprisonment for contravening sections of the Firearm Act.

Bernard Nzvere (37), of Goromonzi, who pleaded guilty to possession of the firearm without a licence, was on Friday sentenced to a one-year jail term and will serve the whole term after magistrate Rumbidzai Mugwagwa reserved her right to suspend any sentence.

Nzvere is still waiting to be tried for robbery and David’s murder, a case in which he is jointly charged with Farai Chikadzi and Everisto Chirimuuta.
