WARRIORS midfielder Kudakwashe Mahachi’s lawyer has applied for him to be discharged on the charges ofattempting to kill his four-year-old sonarguing that the three “key” witnesses who testified in the trial gave contradicting statements The footballer’s lawyer Nkosiyabo Sibanda of Tanaka Law Chambers indicated that the testimonies given by the three witnesses, Meline Mahachi, Sinikiwe Sibanda who are Kudakwashe’s sisters and his friend Carlos Moyo, were “very weak” “On the above submissions, l would like the court to look at these three witnesses’ descriptions of the child’s condition It is proper to look at these witnesses as suspects as they know a good deal about the offence
“The child is said to have come with injuries, but the three harboured the child for a week, and the child’s health deteriorated in their hands,” read part of the submissions Nkosiyabo argued that the trio did not disclose that there was a doctor who was attending to the child when they reported the matter to the police “When they were reporting the case to the police, they did not disclose that they engaged a doctor (name supplied) who attended to the child They hid this (information) from the police and the hospital authorities
“On the other hand, they said the child came with injuries, and if this doctor was not bogus, he would have admitted the child These three had something to hide,” argued Nkosiyabo He further argued that the three witnessesgave different testimoniesconcerning their associations with the doctor “One witness, Sinikiwe said they were all active in dealing with the doctor who was said to have been attending to the child at home, while Carlos denied ever witnessing the doctor injecting something into the child
“In Sinikiwe’s testimony, she stated that Carlos was holding the child while he was being injected by the doctor but Carlos distanced himself from the dealings with the doctor,” further argues Nkosiyabo Source: My Zimbabwe
