Mr Munatsi died in a mysterious fire at his upmarket Harare
apartment and Colleta is believed to have been the last person to see him
alive.
Investigators are still awaiting the autopsy and toxicology
examination results and have so far questioned several other people in
connection with the case.
Mr Munatsi, who was the chief executive of the Zimbabwe
Investment and Development Agency (ZIDA), was said to have been alone in his
penthouse at the upmarket Northfields apartments in the capital when an inferno
engulfed his main bedroom.
Authorities are still trying to ascertain the cause of the
fire and death through the pending post-mortem results as well as reports from
the Forensic Unit and Fire Brigade.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul
Nyathi yesterday said Colleta had since been interviewed and released.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police has located Colleta and
interviewed her. At the moment, police are still conducting investigations and
will release full details once investigations are complete.
“We will advise the public accordingly once the toxicology
examination results are out,” he said.
Among those that have been interviewed are the informant Mr
Charles Gardner (32) of Northfields flats, a security guard at the flats Mr
Shupai Zifunge (47) and Mr Martin Chitura (41) of Borrowdale who was employed
by Mr Munatsi as a driver.
Others are Saurosi Marichambo (53) who was employed by Mr
Munatsi as a chef and the deceased’s younger brother Cardmelon Munatsi (47).
Investigations have so far revealed that Mr Gardner, who
resides in the neighbouring apartment, heard an explosion-like noise at around
0250hours and he woke up.
Mr Gardner went to the balcony to check where the noise was
coming from and saw smoke coming out of Mr Munatsi’s apartment.
He also heard a voice that was shouting for help. Herald
