The delay came after a request from the prosecution team to go through some new evidence presented to the High Court on Wednesday – evidence which might exonerate the activists from the murder of police Inspector Petros Mutedza.
Mutedza died last year following disturbances in Glen View and the state blames the 29 MDC-T activists for the crime, saying the victim sustained a deep cut to the head. But the late police officer’s brother, Tichaona Mutedza, made some startling disclosures about the nature of his brother’s injuries, before High Court Justice Chinembiri Bhunu.
Tichaona said when he went to see his brother’s body at Harare Central Hospital mortuary, a day after his death, he discovered that it had multiple head holes stuffed with cotton. He also said his brother’s private parts were missing .
He dismissed the State’s claim that the MDC-T was behind his brother’s murder and urged the court to release the activists and find out who had really killed his brother.
He also told the court that because he was the MDC-T Ward 2 chairperson he had suffered numerous threats, and was told that there were plans to kill his brother as a way to ‘fix him.’
