By Own Correspondent| A Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) spy accused of carrying a gun to events officiated by President Emmerson Mnangagwa has been denied bail and is currently battling for life in prison after he was diagnosed of liver cancer.

Guthrie Chirodzero through his defence lawyer Rumbidzai Venge approached Harare magistrate Yeukai Chigodora seeking bail for the second time arguing that times and the circumstances have changed.

He told the court on Monday that prison authorities were also refusing him permission to visit his preferred doctor and seek medical attention.

However, the magistrate trashed his application saying the lawyer had not proven that circumstances have changed.

This becomes the fifth time his freedom bid flops.
