Dr Zulu was discharged this afternoon following an
application for discharge at the end of the State case made by his lawyer
Oliver Marwa last Wednesday.
The State has said that Gladys Sibanda’s death was a result
of the gauze left in her abdomen. A surgical gauze, also known as an abdominal
swab is a piece of cloth used to absorb blood and other fluids during surgery.
Magistrate Chineka discharged Zulu after Dr Godfrey Zimbwa
who performed the post-mortem on Gladys Sibanda concluded that the cause of her
death was liver cirrhosis.
The court also said that there is insufficient evidence to
conclude that Sibanda’s death was caused by the gauze left in her abdomen in
2015. She died in 2023 whilst attending a Zanu PF rally in Zaka. The court
heard that apart from a swollen abdomen, Sibanda was physically well and
performed household tasks at her homestead.
One is discharged at the end of the State case should
prosecution fail to provide evidence that warrants an accused person to go into
a defense case. Masvingo Mirror
