Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Two armed robbers were reportedly killed in a shootout with detectives in Chitungwiza on Friday.<\/p>\n

ZimLive reported that Mugove Chimuti (33), and Ishmael Mutungira (28), were wanted for armed robbery cases committed in Chinhoyi, Beatrice, Harare and Norton.<\/p>\n

They were tracked by detectives to their hideout at a house in Chitungwiza, but they reportedly refused to surrender and opened fire on detectives.<\/p>\n

The suspects were shot and died from their injuries at the scene, and police recovered two rifles and two revolvers during a search of the house.<\/p>\n

Chimuti and Mutungira have been in and out of jail since 2017 when they were charged with 23 counts of armed robbery.<\/p>\n

Mutungira previously served time in jail after he was arrested in Bulawayo and had six pistols in his possession.<\/p>\n

The two suspects were once accused of robbing a mine in Chegutu and raping a police officer.<\/p>\n

They were on bail for those and other cases when they were shot dead by the Police.<\/p>\n
