Two Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officers have been arrested on allegations of interfering with the probe of suspended CID director commissioner Chrispen Charumbira, who was recently arrested on corruption-related charges.
Stephen Kuwaza, 42, the officer in charge of CID Theft from the Car department and superintendent Alwis Shingirayi Chidziva, the superintendent administrator at Mutare Minerals Unit, were arrested last week and charged with obstructing the course of justice.
They appeared before Harare regional magistrate Bianca Makwande and were remanded in custody until Monday for bail application but the state has indicated its opposition to them being granted bail.
According to the state, Kuwaza threatened the cause of justice when he ordered the transfer of his junior, one Bryan Moyo, a key witness in the corruption-related charges against Charumbira.
The State says, on October 7, Moyo received a call from his lawyer that Kuwaza was pursuing a High Court order that had barred the police from transferring him until his matter was finalised. NehandaRadio
