A police officer stationed at ZRP Ruwa has appeared in court accused of fatally assaulting a suspect with a hoe handle.
Prince Ndavambi, 39, of Waterfalls, appeared before Magistrate Ruth Moyo at the Harare Magistrates’ Courts facing a charge of murder.
He was granted US$400 bail and is expected to return to court on July 2.
The State, represented by prosecutor Takudzwa Jambawu, alleges that on May 27, Ndavambi arrested the now-deceased in connection with a case of assault and theft and took him to ZRP Ruwa.
While at the police station, it is alleged that Ndavambi assaulted the suspect all over the body using a hoe handle.
Ndavambi is said to have later detained the suspect in the holding cells and left.
Later that evening, the suspect’s condition deteriorated, and he was taken to Ruwa Rehabilitation Clinic, where he died the following day.
