Joice Mujuru to testify in the on going Mujuru inquest

Vice President Joice Mujuru is expected to testify this week in the on-going inquest that resumed yesterday at the Harare Magistrates' Courts to determine circumstances surrounding the death of her husband, Retired General Solomon Mujuru.

Twenty two more witnesses, including the Vice President, pathologists and forensic experts from South Africa are expected to give evidence before regional magistrate Walter Chikwanha.

The presiding magistrate will then make a ruling determining what led to Mujuru's death and if there is anyone culpable then the magistrate will order the police to open a criminal record or call for further investigations.

So far, 20 witnesses have testified in the high-profile court case, with two of them saying they heard gunshots on the night Mujuru died further stoking suspicions as to how the decorated general died.
