Chatunga, accomplices remanded in custody pending bail application 

The late former president Robert Gabriel Mugabe’s son, Chatunga Bellarmine, and his four alleged accomplices, arrested in Harare on Wednesday on robbery and malicious damage to property charges, have been remanded in custody pending a bail application.

Chatunga, who is being represented by Tabison Bvekwa and Theophilus Mubhemi, was arrested together with Terrence Johannes Chinyemba, Fredson Peter, Solomon Pamire and Munashe Mubhawo.

It is the State’s case that on November 3  this year, at around 1830 hours, the complainant was on duty at Brompton Guest Lodge performing surveillance duties when he was confronted by five accused who were also booked at the same lodge.
