By Paul Nyathi|A Harare man was shot and killed by a stray bullet during the much talked about gun fire exchange between the police and a group of thugs last Friday.

Mr Muchesa Chatsama the Head – Organisational Development and Training at Head Hunters International Consulting Services is suspected to have been killed by the stray bullet while seated in his office after police exchanged gunfire with armed robbers in Malborough on Friday.

His body was discovered hours later in his office. 

The man’s brother Dzago Chatsama was lost of words on his brother’s tragic death.

“Feels so helpless watching your own brother covered in blood with a bullet in his body after a police and robbers shootout,” he said in a social media post.

“How reckless of the police. After exchanging fire with armed robbers in broad daylight in a neighbouhood like Malborough. In a public area like the area around Mandel Training Centre and not even bother to go around to check if they were any casualties,” mourned Chatsama.

“All the police did was to shoot, capture their thugs, make news and look like heroes,” he lamented.

“You kill the innocent ones like cattle on slaughter and yet the robbers you only wound, God help us,” were Chatsama’s words to the police.

Police spokesperson Paul Nyathi confirmed the death indicating that investigations on the matter are still underway.

“We are investigating the case. Police followed some suspected armed robbers from town to Marlborough where there was an exchange of gunfire between the police and the suspected robbers. Four of the five suspects were nabbed while escaping. Later on, there was a report that a man was found dead in his office and police are investigating the case,” he said.
