Farai Simudzirai appeared before magistrate Blessing Makati
who did not ask him to plead.
Simudzirai was remanded in custody to May 8.
Prosecutors said Simudzirai was drinking beer with fellow
officers including the now deceased Privilege Hove and Mirirai Chiveza at
Kutepa Ultra City Night Club on April 21 around midnight.
“Accused person had a misunderstanding with fellow patrons
and Constable Chiveza, who is stationed at ZRP Karoi Urban, came to restrain
Simudzirai and dragged him outside the nightclub,” state prosecutor Progress
Muponde told the court.
“Hove, who was part of the patrons, came to the rescue.
“Simudzirai produced an Okapi knife and stabbed Hove on the
stomach resulting in protruding of the intestines.”
Hove was transferred to Chinhoyi Provincial Hospital and
later Sally Mugabe Hospital in Harare where he died on arrival. Standard
