A Masvingo motorist who was beaten by a cop was shocked to find out that he is the one who had been charged with assault.
He reported the beating at Masvingo Central Police Station last week. The officer who has nothing to show that he was assaulted is the complainant.
Stephen Radzoka who walked into Masvingo Central Police Station bleeding profusely and has six stitches sewn to his face after suffering a brutal attack from Constable Bothwell Razerera stands charged with assault.
Radzoka after the assault.Radzoka told an online publication that it was obvious to him that the law enforcement agents were protecting one of theirs because it was him who was beaten and injured by Constable Razerera
The Public Prosecutor at Masvingo Magistrate Courts has returned the docket against Radzoka for further investigations because he is not satisfied that Radzoka assaulted the Police officer.
It is alleged that Razerera accused Radzoka of pirating with his vehicle. This led to a conflict between the two men which saw Radzoka being assaulted by open and clenched fists.
Radzoka went to make a report at the Police station but when he got there, there was a report already made against him by the Police officer.
