DJ Munya’s accomplices out on bail

Two men suspected to be Star FM DJ Munyaradzi Milimo’s accomplices in the alleged murder of a Harare man, have been freed on US$300 bail each.

High Court judge Justice Joseph Musakwa on Monday granted bail to Taurai Janhi and Mohammed Matare after a successful bail application by their lawyers Mr Reason Muchirewesi and Mr Gerald Madzima.

Janhi and Matare were ordered to report to the police once every week and to continue staying at their given residential addresses pending finalisation of the matter. They were also ordered not interfere with State witnesses and investigations.

Matare and Janhi join DJ Munya who was released on the same conditions last week. The three allegedly connived to force Mr Magorimbo, who was suspected to be having an affair with DJ Munya’s wife, to consume poison leading to his death last month.

Meanwhile 5 of the 30 MDC-T supporters accused of killing police Inspector Petros Mutedza in Glenview in May 2011 are still in detention nearly two years later without the trial having been finalised and being denied bail several times.

Tungamirai Madzokere, Yvonne Musarurwa, Rebecca Mafukeni, Last Maengahama and Simon Mapanzure are still locked up at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison while DJ Munya and his accomplices spent only 2 weeks in remand prison.
