HIV positive man who knowingly spread the virus claims his human rights were violated

Charles Mzite seems quite spry

An HIV positive man who knowingly spread the virus to four women has complained his human rights have been violated because the jail where he is held has made errors in his medication.

Charles Mzite, of Vancouver, had sex with four women and failed to tell them he had HIV. In some cases he lied and told them he didn’t have the virus.

He was convicted of aggravated sexual assaulted by a B.C. Supreme Court judge in March 2009, eight years after he moved to Canada from Zimbabwe. At least one of the women is now HIV positive.

Today in Halifax provincial court, defence lawyer Patrick MacEwen asked for more time to review the evidence against his client before setting dates for a preliminary inquiry.

Crown attorney Christine Driscoll, who is assigned to the file with Chris Harmes, went along with the defence request.

Judge Michael Sherar ordered everyone to return to court April 26.

Halifax Regional Police found Tremblay at the corner of Ashdale Avenue and Titus Street in Fairview at about 11:40 p.m. after getting a call about a weapons-related incident on Main Avenue. Paramedics pronounced Tremblay dead at the scene.

Witnesses said they heard a young man and woman arguing near Titus Avenue and Dutch Village Road and then someone yelling for help about 10 minutes later.

Cromwell was arrested just over two hours later at his girlfriend’s mother’s home on nearby Evans Avenue.

The Olivet Street resident also faces three charges of breaching release conditions.

Cromwell is being held at the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility in Dartmouth. If he wants bail, he’ll have to make an application in Nova Scotia Supreme Court.
