Police yesterday said they were still investigating the case in which two Alex Park Primary School pupils were killed last Friday morning when the car their father was driving was side-swiped by another vehicle which had failed to stop at a traffic intersection in Harare.
The two pupils were buried on Monday at Glen Forest Memorial Park. Anesu (6) and Leeroy Mukoti (8) — died on the spot after their father’s Mercedes Benz rammed into a Muzeze tree that had a hollow housing bees at the intersection of Golden Stairs and Dorset roads.
Their father, Pastor Samuel Mukoti from the Celebration Church Ministries International Sunningdale branch, was attacked by bees as he crawled out of the wreckage.
Family spokesperson Mr Jacob Chivava said Pastor Mukoti was still admitted to the Avenues Clinic where he is reported to be in a stable condition. His eldest son Zvikomborero — who escaped with minor injuries — was discharged on Sunday.
Acting National Traffic spokesperson Assistant Inspector Luckmore Chakanza yesterday said investigations were at an advanced stage.
He said the driver of the BMW Takudzwa Imbayago (18) was likely to appear in court soon facing culpable homicide charges once investigations were complete.
“We are still compiling the docket for the accused to appear in court,” he said.
As part of the investigations, police are expected to visit the scene of the accident for evaluation before compiling reports from the Vehicle Inspection Department and the Central Vehicle Registry, to check whether or not Takudzwa has previous convictions.
VID have since inspected both vehicles.
