Police intelligence behind Masarira arrest

The trial of Linda Masarira and 10 others, who are facing charges of obstructing or endangering free movement of persons and traffic, resumed yesterday, with the State witness being questioned by lawyers for failing to explain the role played by each of the suspects.

Kufangomwe, who is the district police intelligence officer based at Southerton Police Station, told the court that when a team of police officers arrived in Mufakose they found the road blocked with stones, but managed to arrest the suspects.

Defence lawyer, Kudzai Kadzere asked what evidence the police had linking his clients to the offence since when they arrived they found the road already closed.
