NOT GUILTY : THREE COPS ACQUITTED OF MURDER

Three police officers have been acquitted on a charge of murder after Chinhoyi High Court ruled that their arrest and prosecution violated procedural requirements under the law. Justice Phildah Muzofa delivered the judgment, declaring the trial a nullity due to the absence of requisite authority from the Prosecutor-General (PG), as stipulated under the Protection of Wildlife (Indemnity) Act.
