The suspected armed robber who shot dead a police officer in Sanyati on Sunday used the same pistol that was used in the murder of Ruwa businessman Joseph Mutangadura in August this year, national police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi has said.

The suspect, Vengesai Jabulani Mutasa (41), killed Constable Courage Muchechesi in cold blood as his statement was being recorded at ZRP Sanyati Charge Office.

Mutasa has since been arrested, making him the third suspect in the ongoing investigations into Mutangadura’s murder.
