Police are investigating a case in which a car allegedly driven by MDC-Alliance councillor for Manyame Rural District Council Blessings Tangwara fatally struck a Grade Two pupil last Friday.

Mashonaland East provincial police spokesperson Inspector Tendai Mwanza confirmed the case on Wednesday but said finer details would only be availed once investigations were complete.

The accident claimed the life of nine-year- old Marvellous Majonga, a pupil at Mhurimunashe Primary School.
Majonga was laid to rest on Tuesday.
Tangwara, believed to be unlicensed, yesterday confirmed the fatal accident, but said he would only respond to questions after consulting his lawyer.

“Yes, the accident occurred, but on allegations levelled against me I will talk to you after I have met my lawyer,” he said.State media
