The three allegedly murdered Marcus Runduke before dumping his body at Vengere Bus Terminus.

Prosecutor Malvern Musarurwa had opposed the granting of bail arguing that the three were facing a serious offence and were not proper candidates for bail.

In his bail application, the accused’s lawyer, Tendai Bvuma of Bvuma and Associates, said his clients mistook Runduke for a robber after he jumped onto their truck from the driver’s door. He said:

> The now-deceased violently hit the window on the driver’s door while attempting to force it open.

> Applicants assumed the now deceased was a robber, as he was also whistling, probably signaling other accomplices to come.

> The driver swiftly sped off and after driving for about 70 meters, the now-deceased jumped off.

> The applicants were relieved they were now out of danger and proceeded into the CBD.

> They had US$2 871 on them and thus did not want to risk entertaining suspicious people around the vehicle.

> The following morning they went to Mabvazuva shops where they sold their potatoes up to around 12 noon when they heard some people gossip that they had killed a person and thrown him out of their moving vehicle.

> They drove to Rusape Central Police Station to enquire about the matter and were arrested on their way.

> Applicants will submit that had they been responsible for the now-deceased’s demise, they would not have spent the whole day selling potatoes in the same town.

Bvuma further submitted that the CCTV footage which is being used as evidence against his clients does not clearly show what happened and the metal bar found with them is used as a lever when attending to faulty tyres. He said:

> It is respectfully submitted that the footage does not show the now-deceased being assaulted.

> It does not show the applicants throwing the now deceased from their motor vehicle. 
The footage does not show whether the now-deceased fell on his own accord or that he was pushed or thrown out.

> It is important to point out that the CCTV took the footage from the side of the lorry opposite the driver’s side where the now deceased fell from.

> It is also important to point out that the footage only shows the truck passing and that as it passed, a person was left on the ground.

> How the person came to be on the ground, the footage does show. The metal bar is used by applicants as a lever when removing a punctured tyre from the motor vehicle and every truck has one or more such bars. It was not used to murder a person as alleged.
