Chikwira and his co-accused, Lisbon Jaure, were arrested at Mbizo 4 shopping centre where they had attempted to stab Biti at the launch of the MDC-T’s district “Vote Yes” rally on March 13.
Chikwira has put forward an application for discharge.
“The accused denies the charge and, in fact, states that he never had a knife on him but that the knife was planted on him by members of the MDC-T. At no given time did he attempt to attack Biti,” reads part of the application.
Magistrate Letwin Rwodzi is expected to deliver ruling on the application next week.
