‘Water failed to douse Mujuru fire‘
Senior Reporter
SEVERAL buckets of water were poured over the body of General Solomon Mujuru to extinguish the ferocious fire that killed him at his farm last August, a witness told the court yesterday.
Mr Tawanda Madondo, a gardener at Gen Mujuru’s Ruzambo Farm, had been asked by Mr Tendai Mundawarara – the General’s nephew – if the burning body was extinguished when water was poured over it.
“We poured a number of buckets of water for the body to be extinguished.”
Earlier on, Mr Madondo, who was the 15th witness in the inquest, had told the court that he did not see the General on August 15.
“I was at home resting on August 15 last year and sometime after midnight a policeman knocked on my door and I came out.
“He told me that the General’s house was on fire and wanted me to show him where his bedroom was. I pointed to the bedroom upon arrival at around 3am, but we realised that it had been gutted by fire,” he said.
He asked people present if they had seen the General, but they said they had not.
Mr Madondo then moved round the house, peeping through the windows hoping to see the General.
After failing to see the body, Mr Madondo and a policeman from Beatrice Police Station switched off the mains.
