High Court dismisses convicted cop’s bribery appeal

A MASVINGO-BASED Criminal Investigations Department (CID) officer, who was convicted for bribery, had his appeal against conviction and sentence dismissed by the High Court saying the lower court improperly convicted him.

In a movie style, Tyron Makayi caused drama after he shockingly bolted from the dock and headed for the exit door of the courtroom in a bid to flee from the court after being convicted.

Prison officers were clearly taken by surprise and were helpless before a female cop heroically grabbed and immobilised him before he could make good his escape.
