Bloody fight over $5
27 Feb 2014 at 05:00hrs | Views
A CHIUNDURA vendor went berserk and assaulted a fellow vendor after she failed to give him change for $5.
According to B-Metro, Prince Komilo of Mabhungu Village in Chiundura was hauled before the Gweru Magistrate Court for assaulting Enety Machaka (25) of Mabhungu Village in Chiundura recently.
He appeared before Magistrate, Rutendo Muchena, and was found guilty of assaulting Machaka.
Komilo will perform 105 hours of community service at St Patrick's Mission School in Chiundura or face six months jail term.
Ackson Kadungure for the State told the court that on 27 January this year around 5pm in Mhlaleli Village under Chief Chiundura in Gweru, Komilo met Machaka and asked for $5 change from her.
Unfortunately for Machaka, she did not have the change at that very moment and this did not go down well with Komilo who then assaulted Machaka with open hands several times on the head and kicked her with hooted feel several times on her bullocks.
Machaka sustained internal injuries as a result of the assault and a medical report was produced in court as an exhibit.
