BY DANFORD ZIRUGO| A police woman was on Thursday arraigned at Mbare magistrate court after she allegedly assaulted a community service officer.
The woman, Barbara Chipatiso (28) pleaded not guilty before magistrate Stanford Mambanje who remanded her in custody to 18 November.
Allegations against Chipatiso are that on November 4 she and her colleague approached community service officer Shingirai Matavire at the Mbare Community service office seeking a record for an ex-convict.
The state alleges Matavire’s supervisor told Chipatiso and her colleague that the said records had been taken to Rotten Row courts by the Director of Community Service.
It is further alleged then she started accusing Matavire for defeating the course of justice.
Chipatiso is said to have begun blocking the duty supervisor from going out for lunch resulting in Matavire intervening in the case.
Chipatiso is said to have gone on to grab Matavire’s neck by one hand intending to assault her.
Matavire’s supervisor restrained Chipatiso from hurting Matavire.
Lawrence Gangarahwe appeared for the state.
