Harare Man Fined And Jailed For Stealing A Gun From Accident Victim

A 25-year-old man from Kuwadzana Extension, Harare, appeared before the Harare Magistrates’ Court facing charges of theft and unlawful possession of a firearm after he stole a gun from an accident victim.

The court heard that on June 28, 2024, around 9 PM, the accused, Bright Makuvatsine, was part of a group assisting a couple involved in a road traffic accident along Bulawayo Road near Sogo Service Station in Whitehouse, Harare.

During this time, Makuvatsine stole a satchel containing the couple’s belongings, which included a 9mm Sarsilmaz pistol.

Makuvatsine was arrested on August 23, 2024, when he was found in possession of the firearm at the Kuwadzana 6 Shopping Centre. He also helped recover some of the stolen property.

He was convicted and sentenced to 12 months in prison for the theft, with four months suspended.

The magistrate must have been drunk or mad or probably both.The sentence boarders between corruption and incompetence for such a serious crime .Being found in possession of a firearm without a licence calls for sentence of 5 years ,that is the mandatory sentence unless the 2nd Republic altered the sentence.

5 yrs is the maximum sentence not mandatory. You can be sentences to lesser years. Mandatory sentence cannot be altered to lesser or more years than the mandatory sentence. If its 9 yrs its 9yrs
