Police caught three guys from Hopley after they robbed a farm near Marondera. The farm belongs to the family of Wicknell Chivayo's wife. The rich businessman made headlines when he paid cash to marry Lulu Muteke. Detectives from the CID Stores and Business team tracked down these men last Thursday.
A police officer ran away when his name came up during the investigation. Constable Mukuva worked at Kopje station before he disappeared. Officials say he helped plan the theft that happened early Tuesday morning on March 18. The thieves grabbed $75,000 cash from the wedding money Chivayo had given to his new wife's family.
The three arrested men must face a judge this Saturday. Law enforcement officials continue searching for many more people involved in this crime. They believe about twenty attackers hit the farm that night. Several carried guns during the robbery, plus others showed up with machetes.
The investigation continues as officers try to find everyone who took part. The three suspects will answer questions about where they hid the stolen money. Chivayo became famous for showing off his wealth on social media. When these criminals decided which farm to attack, his marriage payment became the target.
