THE trial of a Bulawayo policeman Brighton Chagonda (30) of Luveve Police Camp failed to kick off yesterday at the High Court amid reports that he is now on the run
According to media reports, Chagonda is suspected to have killed his girlfriend in cold blood in a dispute over his marriage.
Chagonda allegedly killed Mrs Sithabile Ndlovu-Ncube before he dumped her body in a storm drain on August 19, 2013.
It is alleged that on August 19, 2013 at about 1AM, Chagonda and Mrs Ndlovu-Ncube were outside house number 2554 in Cowdray Park when they allegedly had an altercation.
At his last court appearance, Bulawayo High Court judge Justice Lawrence Kamocha remanded Chagonda out of custody on $500 bail.
He set stringent conditions, which included reporting to the police thrice a week and to reside at the same camp which he gave as his address.
The judge also ordered Chagonda to surrender his travel documents to the Assistant Registrar of the High Court and not to interfere with witnesses.
The matter has since been struck off the roll.
