Suspect flees Harare court with a smuggled gun

One guy escaped the Harare court Friday, but his buddy failed. Luke Zinyengerere brought a hidden gun right into the courthouse. He scared a prison guard with this weapon when they moved prisoners to a vehicle. Luke then stole a car from someone passing by and drove away really fast. He disappeared before anyone could stop him.

The second prisoner tried to run during all the chaos. Tafadzwa Marondera almost made it up and over the tall fence around the court building. Security guards jumped into action fast enough to grab him. They pulled him back down before he cleared the fence. At least they kept one prisoner from breaking free that day.

Police started searching everywhere for Luke after he vanished. No one knows exactly how he managed to sneak that gun past security checks. Prison officials want answers about the weapon. The investigation focuses on finding weak spots in courthouse protection systems.

Law enforcement promised better safety rules after this scary escape. They plan to add more guards and stricter checks for everyone entering the building. The authorities admit they need tougher measures right away. Luke remains missing as police continue their search across the city and beyond.
