Milca Tondori managed to open the door and escaped unhurt
when her husband, Rodrick Kembo, was being robbed at knife point.
Rodrick was assaulted and dumped at Stracken Cemetery in
Mbare National.
Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore
Chakanza, confirmed the case and urged people to avoid boarding private
vehicles.
“Police are investigating a case involving a couple which
were attacked by three armed robbers near Rothmans,” said Insp Chakanza.
“On March 16 at around 11pm, the complainant and his wife
boarded a Toyota Spacio at Simon Mazorodze Total Service Station intending to
go to Hopley Farm where they reside.
“While inside the vehicle, two other men also boarded the
vehicle posing as passengers. One was seated in the front seat and the other
occupied the rear seat. They drove along Simon Mazorodze Road and when
approaching the Rothmans traffic lights, the driver turned left towards Trade
Centre Ardbennie. “One of the accused in the front seat produced a knife and
the second accused instructed the complainant to surrender all his belongings.
During the time of the scuffle the complainant’s wife managed to open the door
and threw herself out of the moving vehicle.
“The complainant was stabbed on both hands and sustained
minor injuries. The accused forcibly took an H-mobile cellphone and US$20 from
the complainant and dumped him at Stracken Cemetery.” He said Rodrick was
referred to Sally Mugabe Hospital for treatment while his wife did not sustain
any injuries. H Metro
