Harare(ZimEye)Vice President Joice Mujuru was left in disappointment today after state Lawyers stated that forensic experts have found no evidence of explosives or flammable liquids on objects of evidence at her husband, Solomon who was killed in a fire blaze that left the nation at large shouting foul play, in August last year.
Zimbabwean government lawyers boldly stated that forensic evidence has proven ‘beyond a doubt’ the absence of objects that would have caused the fire blaze that killed Zimbabwe’s most decorated army general.
At the end of the trial Vice president Joice Mujuru was see tight lipped and strolling determinedly from the court room quiet and refusing to talk to anyone.
During the trial the court room was dropped into silence as they heard the testimony given by a key security guard who was on duty on the day when Mujuru died.
Clemence Runhare, who said the late General drove into the farm property with a strange passenger in the car.
This testimony was seen as surprising given the fact that all other witnesses who saw the late General some few minutes before he went home from Beatrice motel where he was having some few drinks said he left the place unaccompanied.
Stated Runhare:
“I recall when I opened the gate for him at exactly 2005hrs and I witnessed one person sitting at the passengers’ seat as I took it that it was one of his drivers who had gone to Harare earlier that morning.
The other thing which made it difficult for me to clearly see the passenger was that there was poor lighting. I also found it difficult to ask him the person who was accompanying him because he was my Boss,” he added.
“I had some sound similar to that of a gun at around 12 midnight before at around 0200hrs I was approached by the farm guard Luwisom who told me that the General’s house was on fire. We together proceeded to the house where we discovered two Support Unit police officers running up and down undecided. I asked them if they had either phoned the fire brigade or their superiors which they said they did not because they had no phones. They also claimed that their service communication radios were out of order. I then rushed to my other fellow guard who gave me his cell phone which we used to mobilise people to come and try to put down the fire.”
