Boy loses testicles over bicycle spanner

A Makokoba boy had his testicles crushed for merely refusing to lend a tenant a bicycle spanner.

The accused Martin Moyo got fed up and thought of teaching the boy a lesson.

In court, Moyo pleaded not guilty and told a magistrate that he only wanted to politely reprimand his fellow tenant.

"I pulled him up and got hold of his balls, played with them, in a way correcting him," Moyo told magistrate Evelyn Mashavakure.

The incident happened on September 10.
