NINE Dynamos supporters suspected of killing a Highlanders fan in Bulawayo last month appeared in court yesterday and were further remanded.
The nine, three women and six men, stood before Bulawayo magistrate Sibongile Msipa and the matter was remanded to September 19.
Emmason Msipa, 44, Honest Makhala, 28, Onisimo Maphosa, 33, Rogder Dye "Murehwa" Trechsen, 42, Pretty Ndora, 27, Margaret Mpofu, 23, and George Chapindura, 43, Nandi Nyoni, 31 and Chamas Misiwo, 29, allegedly had a hand in the death of Thembelenkosini Hloli.
They are all denying the charge and are out on bail.
The late Hloli, 23, and two of his friends, Nkosiphile Lusinga, 19, and Decent Sibanda, 26, allegedly smashed the window of a Toyota Spacio the nine Dynamos supporters were travelling in following a match where Highlanders were beaten one nil by Dynamos.
Prosecuting, Tafadzwa Mutsambiwa told the court that Hloli, Lusinga and Sibanda were rowdy following the match.
"Lusinga, Sibanda and Hloli were violent coming from Barbourfields Stadium and damaged the rear windscreen of Misiwo's vehicle with an unknown object," he said. Mutsambiwa said Lusinga and Sibanda were arrested but Hloli died at Avon (Pvt) Limited along Waverley Road while fleeing.
Lusinga and Sibanda are being separately charged for their violent conduct before their friend's death.
Hloli's family believes he was killed by a screw driver as proven by a post mortem report.
