Stephen Zimowa alongside Makaika Milanzi, and Antony Kumbula, has been on d3ath row since 2017.
The trio was sentenced to d3ath on a charge of murd3r after the High Court found them guilty of m_rder in the course of armed robbery.
A three-judge panel comprising Justices Tendai Uchena, Alfas Chitakunye and Joseph Musakwa acquitted Zimowa by consent of both the defence and prosecution counsel.
