POLICE Commissioner General Stephen Mutamba has ordered a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of detective Constable Cassandra Hove while assuring the family that no stone will be left unturned.
Comm-Gen Mutamba, through the police national spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi, said all concerns raised by the late Hove’s family and the public have been noted.
“He has since ordered full-scale investigations into the case. The Zimbabwe Republic Police once again assures the public that no stone will be left unturned to establish what transpired on the day,” said Comm Nyathi.
He said police would release a statement once investigations are complete.
“The police will certainly update the family and public in due course once the current comprehensive investigations are complete. The investigations cover all the aspects raised by The Chronicle,” said Comm Nyathi.
Hove’s death has become a matter of public interest, as it recently emerged that she was allegedly shot by a colleague in a shootout with armed robbers during a raid in Pumula South suburb last week.
Earlier on it had been reported that she was shot by armed robbers in the suburb during a covert operation.
It was only after Hove’s family raised concerns as to how she was killed that the matter raised eyebrows. She was 37.
