Former Criminal Investigations Department officer, Jaison Muvevi, has been ordered to be taken to a psychiatrist for mental examination.
This comes as Muvevi, who faces four counts of murder and two attempted murder charges, had through his lawyer Blessed Matandira, claimed that he was mentally unfit, and wanted to be medically examined.
Magistrate Dennis Mangosi did not oppose his application and remanded the matter to May 24.
Matandira said the indiscriminate shooting of people was evidence that Muvevi was not mentally stable.
The lawyer also claimed that Muvevi was incoherent and had exhibited some mental problems during their engagements.
In the first charge, it is alleged Muvevi shot an unnamed man in his head “for no apparent reason” in Harare’s Eastlea suburb on November 19, 2021.
The court heard the deceased was in the company of one Nyasha Eusen, while Muvevi was in the company of two unidentified men.
It is alleged that after killing the man, Muvevi and his accomplices forced Eusen into their vehicle and drove to Huruyadzo Shopping Centre in Chitungwiza.
Eusen later managed to escape.
In the second count, Muvevi reportedly arrived at Crispen Kanerusine's apostolic sect shrine in Wedza in the company of one Shupikai Muvevi and shot the sect leader once in the head.
Muvevi also shot and killed Wedza Police Station officer-in-charge Inspector Maxwell Hove, who was leading a team responding to the shooting.
Another officer in the reaction team, Constable Tendai Mugova, sustained serious injuries.
After the shootout with the police, the court heard, Muvevi shot Munashe Munjani at Ruzema Bottle Store near Murambinda.
The following day, Muvevi attempted to kill another man for refusing to give him food at Mutare Boys High School.
The ex-detective then skipped the border but was arrested the following day in neighbouring Mozambique.
