Mary Mubaiwa has been freed of attempting to kill Vice President Constantino Chiwenga by allegedly disconnecting his life support system while he was admitted to a South African hospital, bringing to an end a trial that had stretched into its seventh year.<\/p>\n
The case was removed from remand, and she will be brought back to court by way of summons.<\/p>\n
Harare Regional Magistrate Musaiona Shortgame handed down the ruling after the State sought a postponement to November 25 to allow the prosecution more time to engage witnesses.<\/p>\n
In his ruling, Shortgame said Mubaiwa had suffered mental, physical and financial prejudice as a result of the prolonged trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
