The Supreme Court has quashed a death sentence imposed on one of three armed robbers convicted of killing orthopaedic surgeon Dr Chris Mushonga, the late husband to Ambassador Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga, in 2009.
Stephen Zimowa alongside Makaika Milanzi, and Antony Kumbula, has been on death row since 2017.
The trio was sentenced to death on a charge of murder after the High Court found them guilty of murder in the course of armed robbery.
A three-judge panel comprising Justices Tendai Uchena, Alfas Chitakunye and Joseph Musakwa acquitted Zimowa by consent of both the defence and prosecution counsel.
