Bail ruling for Glen View 29 set for tomorrow
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
September
19, 2012
The defence team today closed its submissions in court seeking the
granting of bail to the 29 MDC activists who are facing
trumped up murder charges.
The defence team led the evidence by hearing from the second witness,
the slain Inspector Petros Mutedza's father, Mr Solomon Mutedza.
During cross - examination, Mr Mutedza mentioned that the
people who arrested the MDC members were aware of who had murdered
his son as they had given him false information concerning his son's
death.
He said he had only been told that Inspector Mutedza was struck
with a stone on his left side of the head, fell from the truck he
was trying to board while it was moving and died on the spot.
However, upon inspection, Mr Mutedza said his son's body showed
that his cheek had been pierced and his tongue was missing, there
was a hole in his head and that his private parts were missing.
Mr Mutedza, a Zanu PF member, said the talk during the funeral of
his son made him believe that Zanu PF and not the arrested MDC members
had murdered his son. He said the 29 should be granted bail, as
they were not the ones who killed his son and proper investigations
conducted to explain the hole in the head , the pierced cheek and
lacerated private parts and that the real murderers should be arrested.
The MDC members are applying for bail on changed circumstances.
They have been in remand prison since March. The state is expected
to make its own submissions to court tomorrow.
