Marodza is stationed at the Criminal Investigation
Department (CID) Marondera District headquarters, while Nemaisa is now at
Chikurubi Support Unit.
The Herald understands that investigations into the case
have been completed and a docket is now ready for court. Efforts are underway
to locate Chihuri, who is suspected to be in Malawi, to enable justice to take
its course.
The two other suspects are in Zimbabwe. Sources close to
investigations said if Chihuri is located, extradition processes will be
initiated to bring him back to Zimbabwe for prosecution.
They said Marodza and Nemaisa cannot be tried in the
absence of Chihuri because the cases are inseparable. The docket is now with
the Special Anti-Corruption Unit (SACU).
Chihuri, in his capacity as Commissioner-General of Police
then, allegedly unleashed his subordinates on businessman Mr Bigboy Pachirera
and his wife, Marygold.
Mr Pachirera, who is director of Chelpac Investments
Private Limited, was once transport manager at Chihuri’s company called
Kidsdale Enterprises Private Limited.
He worked for Chihuri between the period stretching from
1998 to December 2013.
Around September 2013, Chihuri trumped up criminal charges
against Mr Pachirera before assigning Marodza to lead the investigation team.
Pachirera was charged with corruptly concealing from a
principal a personal interest in a transaction as defined under Section 173(1)
of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.
He was also charged with theft of trust property as well as
fraud. Mr Pachirera was accused of swindling Chihuri defrauding of $81 000
despite the fact that no audit report had been compiled in respect of Kidsdale.
Chihuri made a formal report against Pachirera at
Chitungwiza Police Station on September 9 2013 before and Nemaisa to lead the
team of investigators.
On December 21 2013, Marodza placed Mr Pachirera’s Tipper
trucks which were parked along Sherwood Road in Waterfalls, under police guard.
He had to send armed police officers to do the guard
duties.
The following day, Marodza summoned Mr Pachirera his
office, where he demanded company registration documents for Chelnpac
Investments.
Mr Pachirera complied and was later locked up at Harare
Central Police Station.
He was transferred to Chitungwiza police cells before being
taken to court when the permissible detention period had lapsed.
A Chitungwiza magistrate unconditionally released Mr
Pachirera citing over-detention.
In January 2014, police officers, without any court order
seized two construction trucks belonging to Mr Pachirera worth $250 000.
The vehicles were taken to Vehicle Theft Squad in
Southerton despite the fact that it was not stolen property. In the same month the detectives led by Nemaisa also
arrested Mrs Pachirera and demanded to be shown more property belonging to Mr
Pachirera. Herald
