Four more suspected armed robbers in Zimbabwe who allegedly raided a residential flat in Bulawayo's Central Business District and a house in Burnside at gun point last week, have appeared in court facing a count of armed robbery and two of attempted murder.
An accomplice, Daniel Nkosi of Greenspan Farm Compound and employed as a soldier was on Friday remanded on his hospital bed after he was shot by detectives on the leg while trying to escape soon after the incident.
Morgan Zhulani Ndlovu (32), Richard Fambirayi (32), Bruce Ziyambi (36) and Sikhulile Moyo appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Mr Abednico Ndebele.
The four indicated that they will plead not guilty to the charges and were remanded in custody until the court could record their complaints against the police.
The court would also look for an interpreter in relation to Ndlovu who said he wanted to speak in Tonga and there was no interpreter.
Three more suspects namely Alfred Chinanayi, Kelvin Nqobile Ncube and Nkosinathi Nyathi are still at large.
The court was told that the four misrepresented themselves as Zesa workers to the complainants in order to be allowed into the premises.
The court was told that on Tuesday last week, the gang drove in two vehicles and proceeded to a flat situated at Number 40 A Josiah Tongogara Street.
Ndlovu, Fambirayi, Ziyambi and Moyo were arrested later after raiding house number 86 Circulr Drive in Burnside on the same day.
At the house, the court was told that Ndlovu, Moyo and Ziyambi tied two domestic workers with strings before stealing a money safe with $200, a ring, jewellery and a revolver.
After their arrest, the suspects led detectives to Burnside and Suburbs where they had the firearms.
The total value of the stolen property was $5 000 but only $200 was recovered.
