ZRP Dispatches Helicopter In Hunt For Cop Killer
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) on Sunday deployed a helicopter to (Wedza) Hwedza district’s Chiduku area to hunt for the ex-policeman who allegedly shot and killed three people including a senior police officer on Friday.
Jaison Muvhevhi, who is a former Criminal Investigations Department (CID) officer, shot and killed a white garment church leader at his shrine before killing a senior police officer and seriously injuring another.
Muvhevhi is also accused of fatally shooting another person at a nearby shopping centre.
Heavily-armed police officers swarmed both Chiduku and Makanda areas on Sunday.
The helicopter was spotted at Bagdad Bussiness Centre with scores of law enforcement agents in police-branded vehicles roaming the area.
Muvhevhi, a gold dealer, reportedly fled into a mountain in the Chiduku area on Saturday after another shootout with the police.
He reportedly abandoned his car, some goods and an FN rifle which he had taken from some police officers in Wedza after overpowering them. | NewsDay
