ZB Bank robber who was shot dead by Joseph Nemaise has been identified as Charles Chirara

Among the three men killed were Sanyati-born Tariro Gora, 21, and Charles Chirara, both soldiers in the Zimbabwe National Army.

Brian Koga Tendere, 39, was the third suspect killed.

Chirara was one of over 10 suspects in the US$2.7 million ZB bank cash-in-transit heist in January, and had been released on bail by the High Court.


Tendere, meanwhile, was once jailed for 12 years for armed robbery and attempted murder.

Police are closing in on the two suspects who escaped through a bedroom window, making sure they took their slain colleagues’ firearms as they exited through a bedroom window.

One of the suspects has been named as Tatenda Mumbire.
