Harare magistrate, Stanford Mambanje, convened court at the
hospital where Talent Jeke is recovering from surgery, which saved his life, after
the foiled robbery.
He was remanded to March 13 and is now under heavy guard by
the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service (ZPCS) officers.
The court heard that on February 13, Jeke and his
accomplices, only known as Tinashe and Farai, who are at large, hired the first
complainant, Francis Dick, to drive them to Waterfalls from the Harare CBD.
On their way, they manhandled Dick and struck him with a
brick before they stole US$32, his identity card, bank cards, shoes and
cellphone.
They later dumped him in Houghton Park and disappeared with
his car.
Later that same night, they allegedly robbed Nigel
Mutekairi, who they offered a lift to Budiriro, but took the opposite turn to
Machipisa.
They threatened him with a knife and demanded that he surrender
all his possessions.
He gave them his phone, US$2 and $200.
They then offered Obert Chikuwa a lift to Budiriro and one
of them produced a knife and demanded his possessions.
Chikuwa fought with them and stabbed Jeke in the stomach
leaving his intestines protruding.
Jeke’s two accomplices fled and Chikuwa ran towards some
houses shouting for help.
The police reacted and arrested Jeke at the scene as he
could not flee due to the stabbing.
