The family of Godknows Machingura, a suspect in an armed robbery case, is demanding an independent inquiry into his killing by police detectives. They believe that the police account of the shooting does not match the evidence observed during the autopsy or the explanations given by Machingura’s friends. Machingura, who was 44 years old at the time, was shot dead by detectives from the Harare CID homicide in December 2023.
According to the police, Machingura and his five friends, including Paul Zhou and Jabulani Ngobeni, were trailed by detectives who received a tip about their planned robberies, including targeting prominent individuals for ransom. The police claimed that Machingura died from a gunshot wound to the groin after a shootout in the Arcadia suburb of Harare.
However, a family member, speaking anonymously, disputed the police’s account, insisting that Machingura was a victim of police execution. She stated that during the post-mortem examination, five bullet wounds were observed on his body, including two shots to the head, one below the ribs, and two on his legs. The family member shared graphic images from Machingura’s autopsy, showing the gunshot wounds and his badly beaten body. She told ZimLive:
<blockquote>
We want a thorough and transparent investigation into the events leading to his death.
In the news, it is falsely reported that Godknows sustained a gunshot wound yet he has five gunshot wounds; two shots in the head, one gunshot below the ribs, and two gunshots on his legs.
</blockquote>
According to the family member, Machingura had been under surveillance by the police since April last year, and detectives eventually used Zhou to lure him to his death. She claimed that Machingura was dragged into Zhou’s house, where he was severely beaten before being forced into a vehicle and driven to an unknown location where he was killed. The family member said:
<blockquote>
Godknows was lured by the police to go to Zhou’s Waterfalls residence where armed CID officers fired shots three times in the air and commanded him to get out of his car and put his hands in the air before cuffing him.
He was dragged into Zhou’s house where he was severely beaten.
We hear that officers who held him captive then discussed among themselves on who among the six was should die on the day and they agreed on Machingura and Jabulani (Ngobeni).
Godknows and Jabulani were forced into Honda Fit vehicles and driven to an unknown location where they were killed and the remaining four were taken to remand.
Godknows back was also torn, and Jabulani also on his armpit has a huge hole, even his hands were torn apart by what appears to be very sharp objects.
These people are cruel and we want justice.
</blockquote>
The family members expressed frustration in their efforts to uncover the truth from the police. In response, the national police spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, advised the family to approach the Commissioner of Police if they felt aggrieved by the police conduct. He stated that the police were conducting investigations and would release more information once the investigative processes were complete.

Family Demands Independent Inquiry As Godknows Machingura's Killing By Police Sparks Controversy

A robbery suspect, Godfrey Njoromore, was shot and killed in Chitungwiza while attempting to escape arrest. The police spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, confirmed the incident and stated that Njoromore died after being taken to the hospital. In a statement seen by Pindula News, Nyathi said the shooting followed the arrest of Benjamin Chipiri for a robbery that occurred in December 2023. Chipiri implicated Njoromore during police questioning. Detectives acted on information and located Njoromore in Nyatsime, Chitungwiza, where he was shot in the thigh while trying to evade capture. He was then taken to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, where he passed away. Read the statement:
<blockquote>
<h3>SHOOTING INCIDENT IN NYATSIME, CHITUNGWIZA</h3>
The Zimbabwe Republic Police confirms a shooting incident involving a robbery suspect, Godfrey Njoromore (48) which occurred at a house in Nyatsime, Chitungwiza on 06th January 2024.
The incident follows the arrest of Benjamin Chipiri (34) for a case of robbery which occurred on 02nd December 2023 at a house in Zengeza 5, Chitungwiza where US$ 8 164-00 cash, two laptops, three cellphones, solar lights and a BP testing machine, among other valuables, were stolen. Benjamin Chipiri was apprehended by a mob after one of the complainants alerted neighbours of the robbery incident which was in progress. The other two suspects managed to escape.
The arrest led to the recovery of a laptop, solar light, BP testing machine and an empty magazine of FN Browning Pistol. Benjamin Chipiri implicated Godfrey Njoromore after being interviewed by the Police.
On 06th January 2024 detectives from CID Homicide acted on received information and tracked Godfrey Njoromore to Nyatsime, Chitungwiza where he was shot on the thigh after trying to evade arrest. Subsequently, Godfrey Njoromore was taken to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals where he died upon admission.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police applauds members of the public for supplying useful information to the police and reiterates that there is no going back in the fight against armed robbery syndicates which involve both local and foreign suspects.

Armed Robbery Suspect Shot Dead In Chitungwiza

Some members of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) in Beitbridge, Zimbabwe, are accused of stealing a document that implicates their colleagues in car smuggling. The document is a fraudulent vehicle clearance certificate allegedly issued by detectives Tererayi Silindeni and Munyaradzi Moyo. It is believed that Silindeni and Moyo collaborated with Detective Joseph Mosi to facilitate the clearance of a Toyota Wish car purchased in South Africa into Zimbabwe.
National police spokesman Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident and stated that the police are investigating the case. He told NewsDay:
<blockquote>
We are investigating that case which may have occurred at Beitbridge. Criminal and disciplinary charges have been made to those three. We want to state there is no room for criminality in the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP). All the facts in your media inquiry are correct and more arrests are possible.
</blockquote>
According to court papers, the fraudulent clearance certificate was issued to Julian Morris Ndou without properly inspecting the car, claiming it was a Toyota Hiace. Ndou used the fake documents to buy a Toyota Wish vehicle in South Africa and then drove it to Zimbabwe with Rodywin Gweshero and Tirawe Chiwara. They attempted to avoid paying duty by making it appear as if the vehicle had left the country previously.
During their journey, a police officer at a checkpoint became suspicious when he noticed a third number plate attached to the car with tape. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the vehicle had been smuggled, leading to the arrest of Gweshero and Chiwara. They implicated the detectives, resulting in their subsequent arrest.
However, when Silindeni, Moyo, and Mosi appeared in court, the vehicle clearance document that linked the first two detectives went missing. The three detectives were granted bail, while Gweshero and Chiwara paid bail as well.

The <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Zimbabwe Republic</a> Police has expressed concern about the increasing number of <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">murder cases</a> across the country, particularly those resulting from <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">domestic violence</a> due to accusations of infidelity.

The <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Zimbabwe Republic Police</a> is deeply concerned about the trend of violence and urges individuals to find peaceful ways to resolve disputes. We present the police statement below:
<blockquote>
<h2>MURDER CASES DUE TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE</h2>
The Zimbabwe Republic Police is concerned with the number of murder cases being recorded throughout the country on weekly basis. Most of these cases are mainly attributed to domestic violence arising from accusations of infidelity on the part of couples.
In one of the murder cases, Nyarai Masauso (41) died on 28′ May 2023 whilst admitted at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals after being struck with an axe several times on thighs and stomach by her husband only identified as Muridzi, after a dispute on 26′ May 2023 at Watyoka Mine, Watakai, Concession. The suspect had accused the victim of having an extra marital affair. The suspect is on the run.
In another case which occurred on 27th May 2023, Sikhangezile Tshuma (39) was found dead with bruises all over the body and a deep cut on the forehead, in a shallow grave which was covered with a cloth, in a bushy area near Gulalikabili Line, Tsholotsho. The victim was allegedly last seen arguing with her husband, Darlington Sibanda (36) at Patalika Business Centre on 26′ May 2023. Darlington Sibanda had accused the victim of having an extra marital affair.
On 28 May 2023 at Flem Flora Farm, New Parliament, Mt Hampden, Harare, Alexandra Gezi (52) struck his wife, Rita Rore (42) with a hoe on the head several times after accusing her of infidelity.

Zimbabwe Police Worried About Rise In Domestic Violence And Murder

Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) national pokesperson Assistant Commissioner, Paul Nyathi on Wednesday told Harare magistrate, Taurai Manuwere that Harare lawyer Fadzayi Mahere lied when she allegeldy tweeted that a baby had been killed by a police officer in 2020.
According to <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/police-spokesperson-says-mahere-lied-as-dead-baby-tweet-trial-comes-to-an-end/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>, Asst Comm Nyathi was called in to testify after the State refused to accept his statement confirming the assault back then.
He told court that police only got to know of the incident on social media and when they were approached by senior government officials who wanted clarification over the matter.
Mahere’s lawyer, David Drury, ask why Asst Comm Nyathi had called his subordinates “errant” in a statement he issued on the incident.
In response, Asst Comm Nyathi said it was because the police officers did not report the incident to their superiors. He said:
<blockquote>
We said errant police officers because they did not report to their commanders and that showed they acted in an improper manner, however that does not take away the fact that the child was not killed.
</blockquote>
During cross examination by prosecutor Netsai Mushayabasa, Nyathi added:
<blockquote>
There was total chaos because of this false information. Even senior government officials were asking why this had happened.
ZRP is a public institution where if anything happened when the public are not clear they can check with station commanders to check if what is circulated is true or false.
</blockquote>
The State closed its case in August last year but the matter was postponed on several occasions.
Mahere, who is the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) spokesperson, is accused of publishing falsehoods.
She allegedly tweeted that a baton wielding police officer enforcing COVID-19 lockdown regulations had fataally struck one Rebecca Musariri’s child in Harare.
The ZRP refuted the claim and said the child was not killed.
A video of the incident went viral in 2020, with the mother clinging to a police officer claiming he had killed her baby.

Police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said Zinzobe allegedly sneaked into the room where Phelomina Mabika (32), their daughter (12) and a son (7) were before strangling her to death with hands.
He and his wife were reportedly having marital disputes which forced them to sleep in separate rooms.
After killing her, Zinzombe allegedly went on to sexually abuse the body in full view of his children.
The children spent the whole night with the body before a police report was made in the morning.
The incident happened just as the nation was observing 16 Days of activism against gender-based violence.

Murder Suspect's Body Found Hanging In A Local Church

A 47-year-old Harare woman who last week claimed to have lost over US$62 000 to three robbers has been arrested for making a false report.
The woman claimed robbers armed with a pistol raided while she was counting the money in her bedroom at a house in Glen Lorne, Harare at around 1.30 pm and stole the cash.
A Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) report seen by Pindula News on 10 November 2022 read:
<blockquote>
The ZRP is investigating a robbery case where a woman aged 47 was robbed US$62 150 cash on November 9, 2022 at around 1.30pm in Glen Lorne, Harare by three unknown suspects.
The suspects, who were armed with an unidentified pistol pounced at the complainant’s residence and went to the bedroom where she was counting cash. They threatened her with a firearm before stealing the cash.
</blockquote>
Police then appealed to anyone with information that might assist them with investigations to contact any nearest police station. 
Some members of the public were sceptical while some blamed the alleged robbery on the erosion of the public’s confidence in the banking sector. Said one commentator:
Effects of having a poor banking sector, people keeping cash in houses instead of the bank.
Another one said: 
<blockquote>
The coincidence though! (When the robbers arrived, they went to the bedroom where SHE WAS COUNTING MONEY)
</blockquote>
GandaRemvura @tinashechirape weighed in:
<blockquote>
Having USD62k at home means they don’t believe in the banks. Deposit that money you will lose 5-8k to get it back.
</blockquote>
Following investigations, Police sources said the woman had since been arrested for making a false report.
It is alleged that the woman was owing a lot of people money and wanted to get relief or sympathy from these people.

Police Arrest Over 180 People On Sunday For Cross Border Crimes

Kuwadzana East Member of Parliament, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Chalton_Hwende">Chalton Hwende</a>, Saturday said his party, the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Citizens%27_Coalition_for_Change">Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC)</a> will in the future hold rallies without approval from the police.
He said the remarks after <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/08/06/watch-hwende-says-anti-riot-police-disrupted-residents-engagement-meeting/">anti-riot police had disrupted the party’s residents’ engagement meeting</a> in Kuwadzana. 
Hwende, the party’s secretary-general, sought to thank residents of the high-density suburb for re-electing him as a member of parliament but police stopped him and also arrested dozens of the party’s activists.
The legislator said the decision to shut their meeting down came even after they had presented all documentation that allowed them to go ahead. They had applied thrice before being given a green light. He said:
<blockquote>
They came and arrested our people.
After the elections we made three applications requesting for permission to come thank the people who elected us.
Three different applications have been turned down. Today we came with a proper feedback meeting, properly applied for with notices required in terms of the law given but as you can see, we have been stopped.
They are treating us as banned but I am not sure they can successfully stop a member of parliament (MP) and elected councillor from meeting residents.
We will be speaking to government officials that are responsible for this kind of behaviour. 
The councillor had successfully managed to bring all top officials from council to answer queries in the community.
Going forward we will just continue without approval because we apply, and they continue turning us down; we cannot fail to meet residents.
