Benson Macharangwana appeared before magistrate Isheanesu
Matova yesterday. Allegations are that last week, Macharangwana was asleep at
his house when he was alerted by the sound of an anti-theft alarm on his
cellphone.
His national identity card and US$250 were on the back of
the phone inside its pouch.
He saw the late suspected thief fishing it out of the room
through the window.
The court heard that Macharangwana woke up and pursued the
suspected thief, guided by the sound of the anti-theft alarm.
He caught up with the suspected thief and demanded his
cellphone. The suspected thief indicated that the cellphone had dropped inside
his room.
Macharangwana took him to his room and a fight ensued. The
suspected thief drew a knife and tried to stab Macharangwana. He blocked the
attack.
The suspected thief took Macharangwana’s cellphone from his
pocket and handed it over to him. He was escorted out of the yard.
His okapi knife and black/ green coloured torch were later
handed over to ZRP St Mary’s Police Station.
When he arrived home, the suspected thief started
complaining of injuries he had sustained. He was taken by his relatives to
Chitungwiza Hospital for treatment where he was pronounced dead on arrival. H
