Reza, however, did not have the court order, claiming he could not bring it to court, but had made a loud phone call with the prosecutor dealing with the case at the High Court in the presence of the accused’s lawyer. The accused persons’ lawyer Jeremiah Bhamu, however, accused the State of misleading the court, claiming Friday’s remand was for the purpose of confirming the status of the matter at the High Court. Bhamu said: > With respect to whether the trial can proceed, the record will show that last time, we appeared before magistrate Vongai Muchuchuti-Guwuriro, who said she should wait for the matter to be concluded by the High Court. > Today was not a trial date, but to advise the court of the status of the High Court application. No order has been placed before you or if the State has that order. Ruling on the matter, Mambanje said if the matter is coming for trial, it should have gone to the right court. He added: > I didn’t know the matter was coming for trial. This court will be bound by the High Court order to stay the proceedings. The trio claims it was abducted by suspected state security agents from a police station after their arrest at a demonstration in Warren Park last year May. They were found dumped in rural Bindura and the state claims they faked their abduction. More: NewsDay _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
