Zimbabwean man free on strict bail terms
A Zimbabwean man alleged to have
sexually violated and murdered his 10-year-old niece has been granted bail
after his second bail hearing in the High Court in Christchurch.
Justice Panckhurst refused bail this
month for George Evans Gwaze at a hearing in which most details were
suppressed, but Gwaze was yesterday granted bail on strict terms after a
re-application by lawyer Jonathan Eaton.
Gwaze, on remand in Christchurch
Men's Prison, was allowed bail by the same judge subject to the condition he
lives with a 27-year-old daughter in Auckland. He will be released after travel
arrangements have been made.
Further bail conditions are that Gwaze's passport remain with police, that he not apply for
any other travel authority or documents, that he report regularly to police,
not travel out of Auckland, not associate with witnesses, and that he keep to a
midnight to 7am curfew.
Gwaze's family will be allowed to visit but
not to stay at the property.
Gwaze is charged with murdering
Charlene Makaza – his niece and adopted daughter– in January, and faces two
counts of sexually violating her.
