Supreme Court removes judge from murder case

The Supreme Court has removed High Court judge Justice Christopher Dube-Banda from hearing a case in which the son of a fellow judge Garainesu Mawadze is facing a murder charge.

The court suggested that a retired or a foreign judge be appointed to preside over the case.

Mawadze’s son Munyaradzi filed an application for recusal of Dube-Banda in his trial saying he will not receive a fair trial.
