Five witnesses will next Thursday testify in a case in
which a Government employee and his son were recently arrested in Glen View on
allegations of destroying a Mercedes-Benz and other property belonging to his
daughter’s ex-boyfriend.
Daniel Nyamubarwa (61), a driver with the Ministry of
Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, and his son, Cassidy Tinashe (24),
appeared before Mbare magistrate Ms Kudzai Zihove facing charges of malicious
damage to property and unlawful entry into premises.
Ms Zihove ordered that the five witnesses should come and
testify next week as the trial continues. The incident occurred after the
boyfriend, Posan Chitendere (30), was having problems with Nyamubarwa’s
daughter, Memory Tariro (28), after he terminated the relationship last year.
Allegations are that on August 12 last year at around
9:20pm, Chitendere was seated in his car, a Mercedes-Benz C240 at his house in
Glen View Area 8 when Nyamubarwa, who was driving a Government-owned Nissan
NP300 parked behind him while Cassidy, who was driving a lorry, parked in
front, thus trapping Chitendere.
Chitendere then approached Nyamubarwa intending to speak to
him but was allegedly hit on the shin with a metal bar. Chitendere fled from
the scene. Nyamubarwa and his son allegedly started destroying Chitendere’s
vehicle using an axe and other unknown weapons while Chitendere watched
helplessly from a distance.
Chitendere then phoned the police and officers from Glen
View Police Station attended to the scene but could not restrain the two
because they were armed.
The vehicle, worth US$7 500, was extensively damaged and it
has since been declared a write-off. It is still parked at Glen View Police
Station.
After damaging the vehicle, Nyamubarwa and Cassidy went to
Chitendere’s house and forced their way inside. There they destroyed an HP
monitor and stole two HP laptops, a HP CPU, US$3 600, $6 000 and six pairs of
trousers.
It is alleged that they further poured drinks and cooking
oil on his bed before disappearing from the scene. Herald
