POLICE yesterday sent a condolence message to the Chinyamakobvu family promising the law will take its course.

In a statement, police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, said the law enforcement command has directed that criminal charges, and disciplinary measures be taken against officers, involved in the mishap.

“The Zimbabwe Republic Police regrets the fatal incident that occurred on Friday at around 1140 hours, along High Glen Road near Mushayabhande Road in Harare, where a man died after police officers, who were not deployed for that activity, engaged in an unsanctioned act,” said Ass Comm Nyathi.

Maxwell Trymore Chinyamakobvu died on the spot when a commuter omnibus driver, evading arrest, hit him.

The officers involved were severely assaulted by civilians and were taken to hospital.

Maxwell was a teacher at Mukai High School and was on his way to Budiriro when he was hit by the kombi.
