Gonye and Marongere were allegedly held for 13 hours at Beitbridge Police Station without charge.<\/p>\n

While the officer commanding Beitbridge Police District, Chief Superintendent Tichaona Nyongo denied that such an incident ever happened, NewsDay claims to be in possession of a letter written by the two detectives\u2019 lawyers, demanding to know why the pair were assaulted and detained.<\/p>\n

In a letter copied to Nyongo district area prosecutor and the officer in charge of Beitbridge police, lawyer Jabulani Mzinyathi of Garikai and Company law firm wrote:<\/p>\n

Their arrest and subsequent detention were unlawful because there was no charge brought against them.<\/p>\n

The group of soldiers, led by an army major and a captain, reportedly assaulted and disarmed the detectives before deflating the tyres of their vehicles.<\/p>\n
