Chitungwiza family wins order to get son’s post-mortem report

A CHITUNGWIZA man, Julius Choto, whose son Kelvin Tinashe was shot and killed by the police at Makoni Shopping Centre during demonstrations over fuel increase in January has finally obtained an order by consent to have access to his late child’s post-mortem report.

The order came after Choto persistently petitioned the courts seeking its intervention to compel Home Affairs minister Cain Matema and Commissioner-General of Police, Godwin Matanga to release the report.

In his application, Choto also cited the officer-in-charge, Makoni Police Station, Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals chief executive officer and the Minister of Health and Child Care, Obadiah Moyo as co-respondents.
