Private investigator Chidawa’s theft trial continues

PRIVATE investigator Tafadzwa Chidawa yesterday told the court that complainant Melody Matanhire tended to frame people in cases they did not commit.

Chidawa, who is being jointly charged with ex-cop Francis Takura, currently serving 36 years in jail for another case, Paradza Passmore Matubu and Perseverance Chisango, was testifying before Harare chief magistrate Vongai Muchuchuti Guriro.

During cross-examination by prosecutor Takudzwa Jambawu, the court heard that Chidawa, who was arrested by policemen from the CID Homicide, produced a police identification
card although he was no longer in service.
