Mugabe men not killers

1 HI. 1 ORCLS of Mr Robert Murata:, who won a resounding victor:, ifi this week's Rhodesia elections, were not responsible for the recent harassment of mission stations. This is the claim made by priests and nuns in Rhodesia.
Fr Killian I luesser, of the Bethlehem Fathers, was murdered at Berejena Mission two weeks ago by a group of men dressed like Mugabe's Zimbabwe Africa National I.iberation Army VANLA). But priests at the mission claim the inert were really members or the Rhodesian Security Forces.
Their evidence was backed-up by Dominican Sisters in a BBC Panorama programme on Monday.
"Beaten-up people tell us they always fear auxiliaries or Security Forces" said a nursing sister. Relationships between the Church and the guerrillas has been fairly good.
Mr Mugabe was brought up as a Catholic, and although he no longer professes his faith, he keeps close contact with Church leaders.
