CHIPINGE – A Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) cop who was trapped with a married woman in Chipinge in September this year is now suing the relatives of the woman for kidnapping and robbery.
Julius Mucheri was trapped at the Kositina homestead in Mugiyo village, Chipinge after he allegedly proposed love to Memory Mandaa and proceeded to her homestead to have a nice time.
Those slapped with the lawsuit are Mandaa, Luckmore Mugunundu, Tinashe Kositina, Thomas Kositina and Talent Saboni.
Mucheri alleges that the respondents violently searched his trousers and took away two cell phones and US$$15. The stolen property has since been recovered.
Mucheri allegedly proposed love to Mandaa whom he had arrested together with her mother-in-law and detained at Junction Gate Base following a land dispute. Mandaa is married to one of the Kositina sons who works in neighbouring South Africa.
He however, allegedly started proposing love to Mandaa and sending her steamy messages after the two had been released. He was trapped when he had gone to Mandaa’s place.
He tried to run away from the bedroom that was supposed to become his paradise but was caught and detained. The videos of his ordeal went viral.
The matter is before Chipinge Magistrate Courts awaiting judgement on Friday. The five are represented by Benjamin Basikiti of Gwamanda Law Chambers.
