His escape came while he was picking firewood with other
inmates. Sande Saini 38, was not asked to plead when he appeared before Harare
magistrate, Shane Kubonera.
He was remanded in custody to tomorrow, for bail
application.
The court heard that on March 7, Saini, who was serving a
sentence at Chikurubi Maximum Prison, was taken from the cells for firewood
collection, together with other inmates.
The firewood collection was carried out at Gletwin Farm in
Chishawasha Hills.
Saini was among 10 inmates, working on that day, and he
sneaked from the group and disappeared.
The two officers, who were with the inmates, realised that Saini was no longer among the group, when they did a headcount. They tried to look for him but he couldn’t be found.
On Friday, information was received, from an anonymous call, indicating that Saini was in Hopley. And, in a trap, Saini was lured to come to Hopely Shopping Centre where he was arrested.
