TWO Guruve inmates tried to break out of jail while
correctional officers were playing checkers with other inmates.
The matter came to light at the Guruve Magistrates Courts
yesterday when Anymore Zitsva (27) and Simbarashe Nyambare (22) appeared before
resident magistrate Shingirai Mutiro. Mutiro sentenced them to 36 months and
conditionally suspended six months.
Prosecutor Carson Kundiona told the court that on April 2,
the inmates who were serving 44 months and eight months, respectively, were in
the prison yard.
After noticing that officers were playing checkers, the
inmates cut a hole through the security fence and tried to escape.
Mockias Chirume, another inmate, rushed to the fence and
grabbed Zitsva’s foot while shouting for help.
Zitsva was dragged back into the yard and implicated his
accomplice. Newsday
