AirZim Boss ‘Killer’ Out On Bail
Published: 2016 July 12 05:28:54 (6042 Views)
A member of the four member gang which brutally killed Air Zimbabwe public relations executive, Shingai Dhliwayo in Botswana, has been granted $100 bail pending trial by the High Court.
Mgcini Xaba (28) of Cowdray Park suburb in Bulawayo got bail last week after he filed an application at the Bulawayo High Court through lawyers Mathonsi Ncube Law Chambers.
Police found Dhliwayo dead in a bush about 5km from Ramokgwebana Border Post on April 30. She was tied to a tree with her feet and hands bound while a piece of cloth was stuffed in her mouth.
Investigators arrested Xaba in May together with Artwell Ndiweni, Godfrey Mavhurafero and Dumisani Ncube.
Bulawayo magistrate Tawanda Muchemwa in May remanded the quartet in custody and advised them to apply for bail at the High Court.
The four are facing murder and robbery charges. In his judgment, Justice Martin Makonese noted that although Xaba was facing a serious offense, it was clear from the affidavit of the investigations officer that there were no cogent reasons to deny him bail.
Justice Martin Makonese ordered Xaba to continue residing at his given address pending the finalisation of the matter as part of the bail conditions. The judge also ordered Xaba to report twice a week at the Bulawayo Central Police Station and not to interfere with police investigations as well as witnesses.
The State through Miss Nokuthaba Ngwenya consented to the granting of bail saying that the evidence against the applicant was weak. In his grounds of appeal, Xaba through his lawyers argued that if granted bail there was no evidence that he would jeopardise the interests of the administration of justice.
The state alleges that the four lured Dhliwayo to Botswana on the pretext that they wanted to hire some decoration material and services for a wedding to be held in the neighbouring country.
