 On Wednesday, High Court Judge President Justice George Chiweshe ordered the immediate release of Lovemore Kurotwi. He also criticised police for ignoring a High Court order that was issued on Saturday, telling police to arraign Kurotwi or release him. Four more members of the arrested group were eventually granted bail by Harare provincial Magistrate Mishrod Guvamombe on Wednesday, who only refused to release Dominic Mubaiwa whom he said was the principal offender in the case.
