Police had to be at their best to apprehend his suspected murders.

Blessward Shenje, of NE 207, Rusape was rushed to Parirenyatwa via Rusape General Hospital and died on admission.

Police had to rely more on the viciousness of their dog as the three suspects resist arrest in a fracas that rocked Desim Nite Club (Neighbours), in Vengere, last Friday around 11pm. The suspects, Whatmore Chikukwa (24), Simon Cheziya, of House Number 314 A, Vengere and Courage Kapfanya (22), of NE 323, Vengere, Rusape, allegedly proved to be tricky customers for the police, but their mighty could not stand the vicious bite of the police dog.

Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Tavhiringwa Kakohwa, confirmed the incident, but refused to comment.

The three suspects appeared before Rusape provincial magistrate, Mr Shingi Mutiro last Saturday.

They were remanded in custody to September 11. Mr Mutiro advised the three, who were self actors, to apply for bail at the High Court. Mr Tafara Chawatama prosecuted.

Mr Chawatama told the court that the three arrived at the nite joint at around 11pm and asked the security guard to identify Dongo Sawmill Football Club supporters who had allegedly assaulted some soldiers the previous weekend.
