Tinashe Wellington Macharika, Alick Nakomo and Chaponda Ndlovu appeared before magistrate, Jessie Kufa charged with resisting or assaulting law officers. The trial, however, failed to start, as their lawyer, Jeremiah Bamu was only furnished with State papers yesterday.
Macharika and his alleged accomplices initially appeared before magistrate Tendai Mahwe last week and were released on $50 bail each. Their matter was remanded to August 16 for trial commencement.
Allegations are that they saw the complainant, Charles Nemazvuru, who is attached to the police protectin unit, walking along Nelson Mandela Avenue, clad in uniform. They then allegedly chased him before Macharika tried to trip him. Prosecutors allege that Nakomo then picked a brick, which he threw at the officer, but missed him. He allegedly picked another brick and hit the officer in the back.
