Duo In Prison Break Attempt

Two Guruve inmates were on Wednesday sentenced to 36 months in prison with six months conditionally suspended after they attempted to break out of prison.

The duo, Anymore Zitsva (27) and Simbarashe Nyambare (22) reportedly tried to escape from prison on the 2nd of April this year.

The court heard that the two hatched a plan to escape when correctional officers were playing checkers with other inmates.

Prosecutor Carson Kundiona told the court that on April 2, the inmates who were initially serving 44 months and eight months, respectively, noticed that prison officers were not paying attention to them as they concentrated on the game and the inmates cut a hole through the security fence and tried to escape.

The court further heard that Mockias Chirume, another inmate, realised that the two were trying to escape and rushed to the fence and grabbed Zitsva’s foot while shouting for help.
