MDC duo acquitted after 8 years in jail
Richard Muponde and Mirriam Mangwaya ·
THE Supreme Court yesterday acquitted MDC Alliance activists Last Maengahama and Tungamirai Madzokere of the murder of a senior police officer after it ruled that their conviction by the High Court was wrong, ending their eight-year incarceration.
While Maengahama and Madzokere were still serving their extensive prison terms at the notorious Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison, Musarurwa was at her home following her release on presidential clemency in 2018.
The High Court in 2013 found them guilty of a 2011 murder of Inspector Petros Mutedza during a riot at Glen View 3 Shopping Centre in Harare.
