2 more cop murder suspects in court

usotera and Mabota were remanded in custody to October 20. They were advised to apply for bail at the High Court.
Kusotera is the MDC-T youth chairperson for Glen View South District while Mabota is the youth vice chairperson. Their arrest brings the number of suspects to 31.
Prosecutor Mr Tungamirai Chakurira alleges that Insp Mutedza was stationed at Borrowdale Police Station and attached to the police Reaction Group at the time of his death. Mr Chakurira alleges that on May 29 last year, Kusotera and Mabota were part of the MDC-T youth members gathered at Glen View 1 Shopping Centre to participate in what they termed “MDC-T T-shirt visibility day”. There were about 50, all wearing the party’s regalia chanting slogans and singing MDC-T songs, he told the court. Kusotera and Mabota were allegedly together with the other 29 suspects that have since appeared in court in connection with the murder.
Other suspects, Mr Chakurira said, were still at large. He said the group marched to Glen View 4 Shopping Centre where they had braai while drinking beer.
Police received information before attending to the scene where they allegedly identified Robert Manyengavana and Paul Gorekore and advised them to disperse as required by the Public Order and Security Act.
The group, Mr Chakurira said, complied but gathered again at Glen View 3 Shopping Centre at Munyarari Nite Club. The Police Provincial Reaction Group was summoned and came with Insp Mutedza leading a team of seven uniformed officers.
Insp Mutedza and his five subordinates approached Manyengavana and Gorekore who are still at large and asked them to disperse.
The youths, it is alleged, started denouncing the police and threw stones, empty bottles, steel stools and other missiles at the officers.
The outnumbered policemen ran out of the club and Insp Mutedza rushed to a parked white Nissan Hardbody that he mistook for their unmarked police vehicle. He was allegedly hit on the left side of the head by a brick.  The youths allegedly caught up with him, kicked him all over the body until he fell unconscious. Insp Mutedza was rushed to Harare Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
