Rogue bouncers bail hearing rolled over

Paidamoyo Bore

BOUNCERS, Gideon Sanyangore and Blessing Kumunda, spent another night in remand prison after their bail hearing was rolled over to today.

Sanyangore and Kumunda appeared before Harare magistrate Stanford Mambanje charged with attempted murder.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Cephas Mutswebi, opposed bail saying they are yet to obtain video footage of the pair causing pandemonium and attempting to stab what appears to be a Pabloz Nightclub bouncer.

He also submitted that he is yet to record witness statements from several people, hence if they are released, they would interfere with investigations.

He submitted that the two know the complainants and if they are released on bail, they can interfere with investigations by intimidating witnesses.

However, the bouncers’ lawyer argued that the investigating officer had half-baked information and was not aware how the fight started.

He claimed that Sanyangore was being attacked by the complainants and that was when Kumunda pushed them in a bid to rescue Sanyangore.

George Manokore appeared for the State.
