The State is now pushing for Marry Mubaiwa to be detained after two State doctors gave conflicting evidence about her readiness to stand tri...
Physician Charles Nyamukachi has said she was fit to stand
trial.
“My examination took almost an hour and I think she would
be in a position to be able to stand trial from what I saw".
But psychiatrist Fungisai Makombe-Mazhandu said Mubaiwa was
not fit for trial.
“Mubaiwa was suffering from depression, those were my
findings. She is not able to stand trial. At the time I saw her, she had
difficulty in concentrating and she failed to fully follow what I was asking
her.
The prosecutor filed an application to have Mubaiwa
examined by prison doctors, which means that this would have to be carried out
while she is locked up in prison.
Ncube postponed the matter to today for ruling.
