Detective Cassandra Hove went home to rest yesterday at Mataruse Village in Mberengwa District. Her family buried her after she died last Thursday during what police call a shootout with robbers in Bulawayo. But serious questions hang over exactly how she died, casting a shadow across her funeral services.
Family members believe something fishy happened that night. They directly challenged police officers during Sunday services at Nyaradzo Funeral Parlour. Instead of blaming robbers, they pointed fingers at fellow officers. They asked police straight up whether a colleague shot her by accident or on purpose.
Police reports tell a different story. They claim Howe took bullets to her upper body around 8:40 pm when gunfire broke out with suspects. Medical staff at a nearby private clinic pronounced her dead when she arrived. Her relatives want answers about which officers went on that Pumula South raid.
The family demands the truth about who signed off on her autopsy. They never permitted any medical examination. Someone else signed hospital papers claiming to be her closest relative. This mystery person handled everything before they could step in. Her loved ones promise they will keep pushing until they learn what really happened.
Mr. Ryan Gambinga spoke for the grieving family. He simply stated they laid her to rest yesterday in her home village. Detective Hove leaves behind four children who must grow up without their mother.
