A gun-totting senior RBZ official was allegedly involved in a speed chase with his wife while threatening to shoot her following an altercation over an IPAD he had given her.
The Hollywood movie style chase is alleged to have started in the Borrowdale area and ended in the city centre.
John Mafararikwa who is senior executive (international relations) at the central bank yesterday appeared before Harare magistrate Elijah Makomo who remanded him out of custody to today for trial on his own cognisance.
Mafararikwa - a former adviser to executive director of the International Monetary Fund - was not formally charged with contravening section 27(b) of the Firearms Act, which criminalises pointing a gun at any person.
