Bail application for MDC members postponed again
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
March
07, 2012
The High Court bail application pending trial by 27 MDC members
who are facing
false charges of murdering a police officer in Glen View, Harare
was postponed for the second day today to tomorrow.
The matter was postponed
after the State prosecutor; Edmore Nyazamba failed to turn up for
the hearing as he was attending another bail hearing for the MDC
Youth Assembly chairperson, Solomon Madzore at the Supreme Court.
The MDC members were
taken back into custody last Thursday after being indicted for trial
which starts on Monday.
Among those in custody
are; the MDC National Executive Council member, Last Maengahama,
councillor for Ward 32, Glen View, Tungamirai Madzokere and Oddrey
Chimombe, the councillor for Ward 33, Budiriro.
Efforts are being made
by the lawyers to obtain a written judgment on Paul Nganeropa alias
Rukanda's bail application to enable an application for leave to
appeal to be filed on his behalf. Rukanda was arrested early this
year in connection with the same case.
Jepheas Moyo's bail appeal
on the subsequent charge of public violence is also being processed.
The police officer was
murdered by unknown revellers at a night club in Glen View last
May.
Justice Felistas Chatukuta
is presiding over the fresh bail application.
