AN armed robber who was part of a notorious gang that committed a spate of robberies as well as raping women in Mutare’s affluent suburbs has been slapped with a 56-year jail sentence.

Kudakwashe Chirara (31) pleaded guilty to nine counts, which included robbery and unlawful entry, when he appeared before regional magistrate Mrs Loice Mukunyadze.

Of the sentence, six years were set aside on condition of good behavior while another 10 years will be struck off if Chirara restitutes $2 309 to some of the complainants he robbed.

The gang terrorized residents with machetes, knives and hammers, among other deadly weapons.

The crimes were committed between October and December last year. After hitting several houses, Chirara and his accomplices fled to Mozambique through the porous border line and sold some of the stolen items there for a song.
