A police officer shot and killed a man who was trying to avoid a tollgate in Harare on Monday night.
The incident occurred at around 8 pm on Monday at the Skyline tollgate just after the Mbudzi roundabout on the Harare-Masvingo road.
A police officer who spoke to ZimLive said:
A truck driver was trying to avoid the tollgate by using a dirt road and he was intercepted by a police officer.
The officer demanded a $2 bribe, which is half the price of the tollgate, but a disagreement ensued. The police officer cocked his AK47 and shot the man at close range and in cold blood.
