A 16-year-old pupil who stole car keys from a friend who had given him a bag containing the car keys for safekeeping as he played hockey, picked two ladies, Nandipa Rukweza and Samantha Ratandanwa along Broadlands Road, before crashing the vehicle. The accident killed Rukweza while Ratandanwa sustained injuries.
He pleaded guilty to theft of trust property, negligent driving and culpable homicide when he appeared before magistrate Mr Arnold Maburo yesterday and was remanded to January 3 for sentencing. The boy was released in the custody of his probation officer.
The prosecutor, Mrs Devoted Gwashavanhu-Nyagano told the court that on April 28 at 11am the boy was with his friend at a Harare school where there were sporting competitions and was given a satchel containing keys for a Nissan March vehicle by his friend for safekeeping as the latter played hockey. The boy, in full knowledge of the fact that he had no driver’s licence, took the opportunity to use his friend’s car.
