Silas Nkala ·
A BULAWAYO family has filed a US$436 000 lawsuit against Home Affairs minister Kazembe Kazembe, police Commissioner-General Godwin Matanga and their subordinates following the fatal shooting of a family member by law enforcement agents in May last year.
In summons filed recently at the Bulawayo High Court, family lawyer Josephat Tshuma accused the police of fatally shooting Paul Munakopa on May 23 last year.
Munakopa was allegedly shot several times by police officers who were travelling in an unmarked vehicle and later succumbed to the injuries.
