Police respond to gold buyer assault case, arrest and release buyer
A video of a well known Gweru gold buyer Mr Tichaona Darangwa and unidentified man assaulting a suspected conman (according to the Police) which went viral the past few days caught the attention of the Zimbabwe Republic Police who released a statement and clarity on the issue.
Responding on their twitter handle the Police said,”Police investigations have revealed that a group of men who were driving an unregistered Toyota Funcargo approached a business person in Gweru with an offer to sell cyanide for USD1 200, 00. The chemical purported to be cyanide was tested and turned out to be fake and the business person demanded his money back. One of the men in the Toyota Funcargo took off while his colleague was then assaulted by the business person and his colleagues. On being taken to the police station the assault victim jumped off a moving vehicle and escaped. Tichaona Darangwa was arrested for the assault case, however the case cannot proceed as the complainant is not available. We encourage the public to continue supplying information to ensure the law takes its course”.
