JUSTICE IN ZIMBABWE 133 ____________________________________________________________________ vehicle. This attack was allegedly carried out in the presence of the police who did not intervene. On 17 April 2000 militants took David Stevens, a commercial farmer and an active member of the MDC, away from a police station in Murehwa and shot and killed him in cold blood. Despite the fact that the police can identify the people who removed Mr Stevens from the police station, no one has been arrested and charged for this murder. On 19 April 2000 Martin Olds was attacked at his farm after dark by a group of about 100 militants who were armed with automatic weapons. The militants arrived at the farmhouse in a number of vehicles. The police had allowed the militants through a roadblock but had stopped farmers from going to the assistance of Mr Olds. After a protracted gun battle Mr Olds was wounded. He was then beaten to death with metal rods. The police did not go to the assistance of Mr Olds whilst the gun battle was going on. After the killing the militants were allowed again to go unimpeded through the police roadblock. The police know of the identity of at least some of the assailants, as they visited in hospital a number of militants who had been injured by Mr Olds during the gun battle. No one has been prosecuted for this murder. Torture Despite court rulings obliging the police to take action to conduct proper investigations into the alleged kidnapping and torture of two journalists in January 1999171, apparently the police have done nothing in connection with this case. Attacks on the press On the evening of 22 April 2000 a bomb was thrown from a passing car outside the offices of the Daily News. No one has been prosecuted for this attack. On 28 January 2001 at 1.45 a.m., the printing press of the Daily News was bombed in Southerton in Harare. An armed saboteur lured six security guards, the only employees at the works at the time, to the main gate and made them lie on the ground while accomplices broke in from another quarter and planted the explosives.
