Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) Senior Staff Officer (Press, Public and Int. Relations), Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident, saying some of Musarurwa’s co-accused were still to be accounted for. He said:
Musarurwa has been arrested today (yesterday) by the police in connection with a report made by Kudzanai Mashumba (48).
It is an assault report where she was named as one of the suspects.
Musarurwa is expected to appear in court this Friday.

She had been convicted of murdering a police officer in Glen View, Harare, but the Supreme Court overturned the sentence.
