WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

War vets "drank farmer"s blood"

Harare – Four men pleaded not guilty in the Harare High Court on Wednesday
to charges of murdering David Stevens (48) the first white farmer to die
in President Robert Mugabe’s seizure of farm land.

Stevens was abducted from his farm, Arizona, in the Macheke area 100km
east of Harare on April 15, 2000.

He was savagely assaulted and then shot dead at point-blank range with a
shotgun, in the face and in the back.

During Mugabe’s self-proclaimed war against the country’s white farming
community another 12 farmers and 31 of their workers died. Only 600
farmers still out of 4500 are still on the land.

A state witness, whose name cannot be disclosed to protect the person from
reprisals, was quoted on Thursday by the weekly Financial Gazette as
telling judge Benjamin Paradza that he had seen the drunken veterans
drinking Stevens’ blood.

“One of them went and knelt over Stevens’ body and brought a container
filled with blood, which they mixed with alcohol and shared among
themselves,” the witness said.

A group of 15 was said to have abducted and tortured Stevens. Five were
arrested soon after the killing but they were released in December 2000
when state lawyers pleaded lack of evidence against them.

After Stevens was abducted from his farm, he was briefly rescued by police
and taken to the nearby police station. The mob of veterans then stormed
the police station and dragged him away, in full view of the several
officers on duty.

The Commercial Farmers’ Union said it had copies of sworn affadavits from
three white farmers, who tried in vain to rescue Stevens but were captured
by the veterans.

Police have had these eyewitness accounts of Stevens’ “execution” since
the first week after the incident.

Four of the veterans – Richard Svisviro, Muyengwa Munyukwi, Charles
Matanda and Daniel Chitekuteku – were rearrested for the trial. However,
police were not able to trace the fifth man, Banda Katsvamudanga, since
his release in 2000, the Financial Gazette said.
