Cop piles misery on injured MDC Alliance activists

AN investigation officer in the matter involving MDC Alliance youths, one of whom was allegedly burnt with suspected sulphuric acid on the face while in police custody, yesterday said he did not know how the accused sustained the injuries.

The two MDC Alliance youth — Lengwan Mavhunga and Munyaradzi Mafararikwa — were represented by Webster Jiti when they appeared before Harare magistrate Dennis Mangosi.

Mavhunga appeared in court with burns on his face and was struggling to walk.
