Constable Norest Kuvarega (31) of Buchwa’s police support unit is battling for his life in hospital after five men stabbed him and disarmed him of his service rifle in an alleged bid to steal public examination papers at a school in Gutu.
Kuvarega was deployed at Mpandawana High School in Gutu to guard Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (Zimsec) examination material. His attackers allegedly struck him with a stone on the head, stabbed on him on the cheek and tried to strangle him before leaving him for dead, tied to a desk at the school.
Efforts by The Chronicle to get a comment from police national spokesperson Chief Superintendent Paul Nyathi were fruitless as his mobile rang unanswered.
