A Kuwadzana man, Rangarirayi Chinamasa (35), allegedly ran over a police officer, Detective Constable Bothwell Mundita, who sought to arrest him for fraud and abandoned his vehicle while the law enforcer was trapped underneath.
Chinamasa appeared before magistrate Mrs Vongai Muchuchuti-Guwuriro on Friday last week charged with attempted murder and fraud and was remanded in custody pending bail application. Prosecuting, Ms Audrey Chogumaira, alleged that Chinamasa duped a customer of $240 paid for driving lessons.
Chinamasa was approached by Det Const Mundita in connection with the matter and drove his car at high speed hitting Mundita on the knees, before leaving the officer trapped underneath.
