8.4 The inferences that can be drawn from Chazireni’s failure to avail himself to the ZHRC Investigation Team are as follows:  That the victim was indeed abducted and treated in an inhuman and degrading manner, hence Chazireni’s reluctance to accept 1st complainant’s complaint on the abduction of his brother, the 2nd complainant;  That there is a superior power at work which the police are afraid of, thus making them execute their duties with fear and favour;  That the police can at times act arbitrarily notwithstanding the demands of the law. Undisputed Facts  The victim was indeed taken from Chiredzi to Harare by Captain Gono and Inspector Dhowa;  The victim was kept at Captain Gono’s house;  Inspector Dhowa and Captain Gono were instrumental in this case with the former allegedly investigating and recording statements while the latter allegedly provided financial and logistical support.
