32 murder charge was withdrawn for lack of evidence and he was freed. Charges of kidnapping and unlawful possession of a firearm still stand. Chitekuteku will appear in court on March 26. The ZRP claim Stevens and his farm workers seriously assaulted 24 farm invaders and refused to report to the ZRP. No arrests were made and affidavits were lodged with CID. Arizona farm was first invaded in February; at that time 35 invaders were given shelter by Stevens. The invaders were attacked and his workers injured 14 on 15 April 2000 after a farm worker’s daughter was harassed (it is unclear whether she was raped) and her brother intervened and was assaulted. War veterans were holding a meeting at Zexcom offices in Murehwa when they received a message that farm workers were assaulting war veterans occupying Arizona Farm. After receiving the message, Chitekuteku is said to have mobilized war veterans to go to the farm. War vets, some wearing Zanu (PF) t-shirts abducted Stevens to Murehwa police station, and the ZRP let them take him away after he and 5 white farmers who had given chase were assaulted. Invaders on neighbouring farms then set fire to farm and farm workers’ property; farm workers fled into nearby hills. Julius Adoche, 20 April 2000, Macheke, Murehwa South. Adoche, a farm foreman, was assaulted and shot in the head at Arizona Farm. Thirty-five invaders were given shelter by the farm-owner Stevens, but his workers injured 14 people in an attack on 15 April. War veterans wearing Zanu (PF) t-shirts abducted Stevens, and Andoche was killed five days later. No arrests were made. Allan Stewart Dunn, 7 May 2000, Seke. Dunn was called out of his house at Maasplein Farm in Beatrice and assaulted by six Zanu (PF) supporters with stones, bricks and chains. Wire was tied around his neck but he was not strangled. He later died of severe head injuries. No one was arrested. Dunn was a well-known MDC supporter and a possible candidate in his area. He had received numerous threats. His farm workers believe his death to be political and not related to farm invasion violence. In 1998 he had defeated a Zanu (PF) candidate in a ward election. The six assailants arrived at the farm in a government-owned PTC truck. John Weeks, 14 May 2000, Beatrice, Nyachidze Farm, Seke.

Gwase, an MDC supporter, was abducted from Musami homestead to a war veteran base and tortured, including genital mutilation. He later died.
