Who killed Inspector Mutedza
MDC
Youth Assembly
September
14, 2012
The testimony by Inspector Mutedza's young brother, Tichaona
Mutedza, has exposed the gross political manipulation and raping
of the justice system.
Any doubts that this
is a clear case of political persecution of innocent change advocates
has been wiped off.
The police informed the
Mutedza family that Petros Mutedza had been struck once on the left
side of the head and died as a result.
29 activists
are being arraigned before
the courts on murder charges, all of them remanded in custody.
The courts have it that Mutedza was hit by a blunt object on the
head, once, and died as a result of this attack.
Tichaona Mutedza testified
that his late brother's chest had blood flowing down to his
Private parts. His private parts were missing. His uniform was torn
with buttons missing. He had injuries on his head which included
an opening on the forehead covered with cotton wool. He had an opening
on the right cheek.
. . . . And all this,
someone want us to believe was caused by the single strike on the
head.
Tichaona further put
it that he had been informed before his brother's death, that
his life was in danger. Petros Mutedza was one of the key witnesses
lined up by the State to give evidence against Themba Mliswa who
is facing a charge of extortion (article published in the Newsday
on 31 May 2012).
This naturally triggers
a series of questions in any sane and sober man's mind. 29
people could have lifted a single stone and hailed it at the deceased?
The stone hit the head, tore open the forehead, reared open the
cheek, tore the uniform, mutilated the private parts?
Several state witnesses
have been lying across diverse and conflicting statements. One Inspector
Joshua Daka told the courts that Mutedza fell from a speeding-off
truck and hit his head hard on the tarmac. Another witness put it
that Mutedza was seen running from a bar after an altercation with
patrons.
Is Solo responsible for
the missing private parts?
Are the 29 responsible
for the tattered shirt with missing buttons?
The majority of the incarcerated
never set their feet on the scene of the alleged crime on that particular.
The bravery of Tichaona
Mutedza is greatly applausible. He has painstakingly stated that
the 29 are innocent, should be released and the police hunt for
the real murderers of his brother.
This is a clear evidence
of absence of justice, law, freedom and the respect of our own constitution
and agreements. Their arrest and detention is both political and
illegal hence unconstitutional. It's a well-calculated ploy
to destabilize the MDC, mainly the youth assembly as the nation
heads towards a plebiscite.
29 members holding various
portfolios are locked up. Innocent youth, youth leaders, party members,
national executive members and human rights activists are languishing
in custody over such hogwash of trumped up charges. The families
and friends of the incarcerated live in perpetual agony and toil
up and down daily to comfort their locked up loved ones. Families
have been destabilized, breadwinners are locked up on false charges
and dependents' lives are in quandary.
The uncertainty over
the fate of the incarcerated just sends chills down the spines of
party members and fellow youths.
Then the question remains
unanswered; who killed inspector Mutedza.
