A MOTORIST who struck and killed two Sunningdale 1 Primary School pupils last month will appear in court soon facing two counts of culpable homicide, the Zimbabwe Republic Police has said. Ben Kabudura of Unit L in Chitungwiza was allegedly speeding when the accident occurred last month. He was driving a Toyota Avensis registration number AEE 1734.
Kabudura is alleged to have lost control of his vehicle and encroached into the opposite lane. He then hit three pupils, killing two on the spot. The other pupil was injured and taken to hospital.
Police chief spokesperson Senior Assistant Commissioner Charity Charamba told The Herald that investigations were still in progress. “He is set to appear in court facing two counts of culpable homicide once investigations have been completed,” she said.
Kabudura is a ZB Bank employee. The two dead pupils have since been buried while the condition of the hospitalised pupil is yet be ascertained. Two months ago, a Girls High Pupil was killed by a commuter omnibus. The driver of the commuter omnibus was sentenced to six years in jail.
