A man who had just withdrawn US$1 000 from an automated teller machine in Chiredzi, Masvingo Province lost all of it to two suspects who teamed up to rob him.
In a statement on X, the National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe said: “The Court heard that on 1 February 2024, Isaac Makonye, 22, and Charles Gumbo, 22, connived to rob the complainant who had just withdrawn money from an automated teller machine at a bank in Chiredzi.”
Makonye slapped the complainant once in the face and also hit him once on the forehead with a stone.
“Gumbo attacked the complainant from behind, pinning him down to the ground.”
“The first accused person searched the complainant and took US$1 000 from his pocket. They fled to a nearby bush, leaving the complainant, who had suffered a fractured hand and a bruised face, lying down helplessly”, said the NPAZ.
A report was made and investigations led to the arrest of the accused persons and nothing was recovered.
“Trial continues on 20 March 2024”, said the NPAZ.
