Marry Mubaiwa says she is too sick to stand trial. Her
lawyers said in her bail application: “Applicant is of visibly poor health,
being visibly traumatised and having lost a considerable amount of weight.
“A doctor attended to her and deposed an affidavit. The
applicant asserts she was injured in Bulawayo on June 23, 2018 by a hand-held
grenade thrown with the intention of assassinating the President.
“The photographs of her hands will be exhibited to the
court at the hearing of this matter. She thus needs constant medical care,”
reads the bail statement.
Dr Admire Jira said : “Marry Mubaiwa-Chiwenga has swelling
on both her upper and lower limbs. She has a fever and has difficulties in
breathing. She has a wound on her left forearm tender measuring 10cm in length
and 5cm in width.
“She has a wound on the right forearm measuring 8cm by 5cm.
Marry Mubaiwa complained of having flashbacks, lack of sleep and losing
weight.”
“Marry Mubaiwa is not capable to stand trial due to her
current physical condition. She should be in hospital on treatment, preferably
Avenues Clinic.
“Marry Mubaiwa should be under the care of a physician,
surgeon and psychiatrist of her choice,” writes Dr Jira.
