Eusen’s discharge raises more questions around Muvhevhe

Michael Mashiri

They say it is an ill wind that blows no one any good.

Grief dogs the loved ones of those who paid with their lives when Jaison Muvhevhi shot three people dead and injuring another one.

But for another man, the explosion of Muvhevhi into a mass murderer is a blessing in disguise.

After several weeks in prison, a Chishawasha Hills man who was arrested on charges arising from the murder of another person in Eastlea is now a free man.

Nyasha Eusen, of Chishawasha Hills appeared before the Harare Magistrates' Court with a cheery face as he was discharged as Muvhevhi now faces allegations over the death of Nyarai Pound.

Eusen had been left holding the bag after a shootout in Eastlea in November that left Nyarai Pound dead.

Eusen was arrested on allegations of being present during the dispute that ended with Nyarai Pound getting a bullet to the head before Eusen and his accomplices sped off in a white Toyota Allion whose registration number was only captured as AFW......

Eusen was identified and found with blood on his person on apprehension. His accomplices were unidentified and at large when he made his initial court appearance in November last year.

Eusen appeared before magistrate Dennis Mangosi who withdrew the matter as investigations have since pointed to Muvhevhe as the one whose finger pulled the trigger.

The case of Eusen has resulted in more questions being asked, not just about the extent of Muvhevhe’s criminal enterprise and the amount of blood he may have on his hands.

In reaction to Eusen’s discharge, a number of social media users have wondered what statement Eusen made on his arrest.

Others have expressed the opinion that if Eusen was prepared to take the rap, and protect Muvhevhe, it also raises the question of why he would have been willing to make such a sacrifice.
