In a suspected case of child abuse, the 17- year-old
stepmother appeared in court facing charges of ill treating a child.
It is alleged that the woman used an unknown object to
assault the two-year-old boy on his back and private parts.
The court heard that a neighbour noticed that the child’s
private parts were swollen and upon inquiry it emerged that the step-mother was
in the habit of assaulting the two year old boy.
She was arrested after the matter was reported to the
police .
Meanwhile, four Harare men; Shadreck and Takesure Chivambe
as well as Edson Mutambidzi and Moraji Chapola appeared in court facing charges
of armed robbery and unlawful possession of firearms.
It is alleged that the quartet attacked the complainant,
who was at a church shrine, demanding cash and other valuables.
The court heard that the co-accused pointed a gun at the
complainant who in turn wrestled them attracting the attention of passers-by.
It is the State’s case that the accused then shot at the
crowd before fleeing using an unregistered BMW car.
The four were arrested a few days after the shrine attack
and were found in possession of several guns.
They were remanded in custody and advised to apply for bail
at the High Court.
Still at the courts, two men lost US
$12 000 to a suspected
fraudster after being promised top notch vehicles at a low price.
Patrick Tombotya allegedly misrepresented facts to the two
complainants, after promising to deliver vehicles at low cost.
The court heard that the complainants paid US$6 000 each
for the vehicles but the accused failed to deliver the cars as agreement.
It is alleged that Tombotya became evasive after receiving
the cash and he was arrested after the matter was reported to the police. ZBC
