This evidence-led archive contains two distinct records: the adjudicated murder of seven-year-old Tapiwa Makore Jr and the unresolved 2015 disappearance of journalist and activist Itai Dzamara. Court findings, witness accounts and institutional assessments are identified by source and legal status.
This section contains cases in which a court established individual criminal responsibility through conviction.
Cases without a completed conviction establishing individual criminal responsibility belong here.
The archive separates adjudicated responsibility from unresolved disappearance and attributed human-rights assessments.
Judicial records and reporting establish the Makore convictions; multiple contemporary and current sources document Dzamara’s abduction, the High Court search order and the continuing absence of a solution.
The Makore case resulted in murder convictions. Dzamara’s abductors have not been publicly identified or convicted, so that file remains unresolved.
The visuals use legal files, an empty chair and landscape motifs. They do not imitate victims, suspects, remains or authentic crime scenes.
Direct answers separating established findings from unresolved allegations.
