By A Correspondent- A Shamva’s Vibranium Mine has gunned down two of his colleagues in a suspected case of mistaken identity.

The victims are battling for their lives at Shamva Hospital where they are receiving treatment.

Garikai Chakaipa (55), allegedly shot his colleagues while on duty, recently appeared at Bindura Magistrate Courts on charges of attempted murder.

Prosecutor Edward Katsvairo submitted that on the 17th of this month, the two were on patrol at the other end of the mine when the incident occurred.

Allegations are that Chakaipa, who was armed with a shotgun and operating at a different site, randomly fired at his colleagues, suspecting that they were intruders.

The injured were taken to Shamva Hospital for treatment where they are recovering, while Chakaipa has been remanded in custody to the 30th of this month for trial.
