THE State yesterday postponed the matter in which Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (Artuz) leader Obert Masaraure is linked to a murder case saying investigations are still in progress.

Masaraure, who is being represented by Doug Coltart, had his matter postponed to October 31 by Harare Magistrate Dennis Mangosi.

The Artuz leader is alleged to have killed activist Roy Issa, at a Harare hotel on June 1, 2016 following a beer-drinking spree.

The State alleges that in order to conceal the offence, Masaraure and his accomplices claimed that Issa jumped off the hotel window, resulting in his death.
