Security Guard Faces A Murder Charge For Killing Intruder At A Gold Mine

Police in Guruve, Mashonaland Central Province, are currently investigating a murder incident that took place on October 24, 2024, at a local gold mine.

The incident involves a security guard, identified as Simon Chiunye, aged 36, who is accused of fatally shooting a man named Masango Titus, aged 33, using a Huglo shotgun.

In a statement, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) said Masango was part of a group of illegal gold panners who had invaded the mine, which has been a growing issue in the region.

According to initial reports, the situation escalated when Masango and other gold panners attacked Chiunye, prompting him to use his firearm in self-defence. The confrontation resulted in Masango being shot in the head, leading to his death.

Following the incident, Chiunye sustained injuries during the altercation and was subsequently admitted to a hospital in Harare for treatment. Police said:

who said he was not armed? Saying they were a gang says a lot, they can not attack on fists. Other thing aiming a leg is done when want to effect an arrest not protecting for life.

if someone is killed whether self defence, lawful killing according to the Constitution the docket of murder is opened then it will be closed. This issue is going no whre, he is being charged of murder but has not been charged for murder. Firearm principles are observed. 1. Do not fire when in doubt. Do not fire when there are other means to effect an arrest. 3. Do not fire when the objective already achieved. 4. Fire when there is life threat and the situation is justifiable. underline the word justifiable......

Thats a justified killing committed in the defence of self against armed multiple attackers, and of property on security duty. Angangotongwa nemanslaughter, not murder. Chances of him going scot free are high, considering that he sustained injuries requiring hospitalization during the incident. His self defence please is valid and appropriate.

Why then should be guard have the gun if it becomes any offence to use it in self defense and for protecting the property being guarded? According to the report there is evidence thatthese were intruders and that the guard acted in self defence.
