A Chitungwiza prophet who was accused of hiring a hit man to eliminate two members who had left his church has been acquitted of the charges.
The complainants, Afra Nhanhanga and Kudakwashe Elliot
brought in the hired hit man, Talent Nyakunengwa as a witness to the case.
Talent revealed to a local tabloid, that he had been hired
by the prophet, Thomas Makoni , to beat up Elliot and use a petrol bomb for
Nhanhanga. This however failed to prove the case.
Thomas Makoni was found not guilty after the state failed to raise evidence against him.
