Former police officer, Jaison Muvevi, who is accused of shooting and killing four people in Wedza last year, has been declared mentally unstable to stand trial.

Muvevi has therefore been committed to a psychiatric hospital.

Muvevi through his lawyer claimed to be mentally unstable which saw Harare Magistrate, Mr Dennis Mangosi ordering him to go for mental examination.

Muvevi is accused of killing an apostolic sect leader, Crispen Kanerusine, Wedza police station officer in charge, Maxwell Hove and a bar tender at Murambinda business centre, Munashe Munjani on January 13 2023.

After committing the alleged offences, Muvevi skipped the border to Mozambique where he was arrested and extradited.
