Tawanda Godwin Mufute (32) this week appeared before Mutare
magistrate, Ms Perseverance Makhala, for contravening Section 27 (B) of the
Firearms Act, Chapter 10:09, after pointing a gun at Godfrey Dombo (40).
Dombo had confronted Mufute over his wayward behaviour. Mufute
pleaded not guilty and will be back in the dock.
The State, led by principal public prosecutor Mr
Tiriwamambo Kangai, said on December 31, 2020 at about 8pm, Dombo and his
family retired to bed.
However, his 14-year-old daughter woke up and sneaked out
to celebrate with Mufute the dawn of the New Year at a popular night joint. Mufute
dropped the teenager home around 3am.
“On January 1, Dombo called Mufute reprimanding him for
taking his daughter to the night club. Mufute invited Dombo to his place of
residence since they stay in the same neighbourhood. Dombo proceeded to
Mufute’s house where he found him seated in his car, while his wife was on the
passenger seat.
“A misunderstanding ensued between the two, resulting in
Mufute producing a pistol and pointing it at Dombo. He threatened to kill him.
Dombo went to report the matter at Chikanga Police Station, thereby leading to
Mufute’s arrest,” said Mr Kangai. Manica Post
