Madzore
bail application postponed again
Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR)
November 22, 2011
High Court Judge,
Justice Maria Zimba Dube on Tuesday 22 November 2011 postponed the
bail hearing of Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) Youth Assembly
chairperson, Solomon Madzore, who is accused
of murdering a police officer, Inspector Petros Mutedza to Wednesday
23 November 2011.
The postponement
was the fourth one inside one week after several deferments last
week by Justice Hlekani Mwayera.
Justice Dube
on Tuesday 22 November 2011 postponed the hearing after requesting
for time to peruse the State's response to the fresh bail
application for Madzore which was filed by his lawyer Gift Mtisi
of Musendekwa and Mtisi Legal Practitioners.
In his fresh
bail application, which is being opposed by the State Madzore's
lawyer argues that his client now deserves to be granted bail because
of changed circumstances and that enough time has elapsed to allow
the police to complete investigations as per their indications.
Mtisi has also
filed an affidavit deposed to by a medical doctor confirming that
Madzore was nowhere near the incident as he had accompanied his
wife to the doctor's chambers.
Madzore was
arrested early last month and charged with murdering Inspector Mutedza.
Justice Mwayera
dismissed his first bail application last month after ruling that
he was a flight risk.
