Human Rights Forum Report: Who was responsible? Despite numerous witnesses implicating Mwale in the murders he has not yet been detained. The docket in which Mwale and Zimunya are cited as prime suspects in the murders of Chiminya and Mabika was sent by Mutare Police to Police General Headquarters in Harare for them to forward to the Attorney General‟s Office. Police sources say the police chiefs are still holding the file. Mwale and Zimunya were summoned to testify in the Buhera North petition but disappeared before they could be brought to court. After the trial Justice James Devittie cited section 137 of the Electoral Act that allows him to forward any illegal act discovered in the course of court proceedings to the Attorney General for prosecution. He forwarded information to Attorney General Andrew Chigovera but as yet no action has been taken. Case 14: D.M.

Shadreck Chipanga Zanu PF Makoni East MP Shadreck Chipanga, who is also a former director of the CIO, is alleged to have set up a base in Nyazura from which Zanu (PF) youths launched their operations. Case 17: T.B.M. (Male) — 9 April 2000 I was wearing an MDC t-shirt and going to an MDC rally at Mabvazuva in Rusape in the company of J.M. Six people alighted from a white defender and kidnapped us. Shadreck Chipanga was with them. We were taken along Wedza Road and assaulted with sticks and iron bars. I sustained injuries to my back and currently experiences problems with my spinal cord. There were 12 people in the vehicle. We were threatened with death and being buried alive. We were told to remove our t-shirts and support Zanu (PF) if we wanted to survive. They took us to Mucheke River and threatened to throw us into it. Chipanga then gave the order for us to be spared. We were dumped at Mucheke River about 23kms from Rusape. Case 18: Amos Kutiya — April 2000 Mr Amos Kutiya testified that he witnessed Shadreck Chipanga assault MDC supporter David Sundai. Chipanga then allegedly stood by as Zanu (PF) youth tortured Mr Sundai. Mr Kutiya was at his homestead when he saw a blue Nissan twin-cab arrive. He recognized the car because he had seen Zanu (PF) supporters using it on party business in the area. He recognized Chipanga immediately because the respondent had once given him a ride to Rusape. Mr Kutiya stated that Chipanga hit Mr Sundai with an open hand and also identified Lloyd Chipunza as an assailant. He also was able to identify William Venge as a member of a Zanu (PF) gang known to assault MDC supporters in the area. After the assault, Mr Kutiya went to help Mr Sundai up but the victim could not stand. His face was swollen and bloody and he could not see properly. 13
