Shine Tanaka Nyamhunga who allegedly provided armed robbers with information in the Chadcombe robbery was remanded in custody by a Harare magistrate to the 28th of this month.

Nyamhunga(21) sent armed robbers to Chadcombe to rob his boss of cash. However, robbers took wrong turn & ended up in ex-cop (homicide) Joseph Nemaisa’s house.

“Comprehensive police investigations have revealed that Nemaisa’s family was a case of wrong target as Nyamhunga had given his accomplices some information on some cash transactions by a company where he is employed.”

Nyamhunga had allegedly told his accomplices that the money was kept at his employer’s house in Chadcombe, a few properties away from Nemaisa’s.

“The attack on Nemaisa’s residence is, therefore, a case of mistaken identity or target as Nyamhunga was in constant touch with (a soldier) Tariro Gora (now deceased) with a view of having his employer targeted by the armed robbers,” Nyathi said.
