Love Counselling Goes Wrong: ZRP Officer ends up in hospital
A police officer from Budiriro Police Station was injured after being attacked by three men and was taken to hospital for treatment.
Constable Blessing Mutoko, aged 33, works in the Victim Friendly Unit. He was injured after a fight that happened in Budiriro, Harare. Police say the incident started after Mutoko had been counselling a couple involved in a domestic violence case.
After the counselling, Mutoko exchanged contact details with the woman and later met her at a lodge near the police station. After the meeting, they went their separate ways. The woman’s husband and his relatives later confronted Mutoko and questioned him about his relationship with her.
Mutoko tried to escape by getting into a commuter omnibus, but the three men followed him, pulled him out of the vehicle, and assaulted him. He suffered injuries to his face and nose and was taken to hospital.
A member of the public reported the incident to the police, leading to the arrest of the three suspects. The case has been officially recorded, and investigations are ongoing.
