A Harare magistrate has issued a warrant of arrest against a suspect who is facing charges of insulting a witness ordering him to stop testifying in her friend’s case.
Magistrate Gamuchirai Gore issued the warrant against Molly Albertinah Chirongoma (55) who is facing charges of defeating the course of justice after she failed to appear in court.
The complainant in this matter is Kirk Woest who is employed as a Consultant and vehicle manager.
It is the State’s case that on April 10 2024 at the Harare Magistrates Court Chirongoma approached Worst who was coming out of the court where he was a witness in a case between her friend James Landon and Ronald Nyandoro.
The court heard that as Worst was walking in the court premises Chirongoma started shouting at him pointing him with her finger instructing him to stop witnessing the case.
It is the State’s case that Chirongoma was refrained from further insulting Worst by Mukumbi Shadreck a prison officer who ordered the her to stop shouting and she was subsequently called by Landon before she entered in the car and went away.
A report was made at the police and investigations carried out leading to the arrest of Chirongoma.
