Cops in nasty brawl over gold mine security

A HARARE magistrate has issued warrants of arrest for two police officers after they allegedly failed to appear in court for the trial of their Marondera colleagues, who allegedly unleashed dogs on them during a fight over rights to guard Cynthian Gold Mine in Goromonzi.

Assistant Inspector Trymore Hofisi and Constable Tafadzwa Hove, who are complainants in the case, were supposed to appear before magistrate Rumbidzai Dzumbira as complainants in the trial of Samuel Chinsela (29) and Obey Navaya (22).

Chinsela and Navaya, both from Marondera Police Station, are being charged with disorderly conduct after they set dogs on their colleagues while fighting to provide security duties at the gold mine.
