They were subsequently intercepted and arrested by the alert detectives before executing their mission, searches were conducted upon arrest and led to the recovery 2 machetes.
The accused persons implicated Rimbi who hired them through Mutunhairi and Muzuva to rob, harass and injure the complainant.
