Mr Brian Goto prosecuted.

Mr Goto said Madziro was the first to arrive at the scene of an accident which happened at the 11km peg along the Mutare-Chimanimani Highway.

He loaded the property of the Mr Davison Mushaikwa into his vehicle before rushing him to Victoria Chitepo Provincial Hospital.

However, Mr Mushaikwa was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital and Madziro disappeared with his property.

Investigations led to the recovery of the property, save for the inverter.
