A Hillside Police Station officer has confessed to shooting his colleague, Detective Constable Cassandra Hove, during a robbery operation in Pumula South earlier this month.
Constable Muradzikwa, now in custody at Donnington Police Station, reportedly admitted to the crime and declined legal representation. He is expected to appear in court today.
Detective Hove, a 37-year-old member of Bulawayo’s elite all-female CID unit, Team Lozikeyi, was shot dead on March 6, 2025, while pursuing armed robbery suspects in the Habek area.
Initial reports suggested she was killed by the robbers, but Muradzikwa’s confession has shifted the focus of the investigation. Authorities are yet to reveal the motive behind the shooting as inquiries continue.
