AN unlicenced Beitbridge policeman, who fatally knocked down two pedestrians after losing control of his vehicle in June last year, was yesterday fined $500 for both offences by a local magistrate.
BY OWN CORRESPONDENT
Darlington Mujabuki (37), a member of the Criminal Investigation Department, was convicted of culpable homicide and driving without a licence by magistrate, Langton Mukwengi.
Mujabuki caused the death of Hungson Mbedzi and Tobias Ndou at Beitbridge Border Post on June 22 last year.
The court ordered him to pay a $400 fine for culpable homicide or serve a six-month jail term and $100 for driving without a licence.
He was also barred from driving for two years.
Mujabuki, on suspension from work for allegedly accepting a R30 ($2) bribe to facilitate the importation of the vehicle without requisite documents, when he committed the offences, had pleaded guilty to both offences.
The court heard that after clearing the vehicle, a Subaru Legacy, he collected it from Manica Bonded Vehicle Warehouse and drove at high speed, knocking down Mbedzi and Ndou, who were walking home from work.
