Man killed for spilling beer

A 41-year-old man from Hatcliffe has died following an assault at a local bar over a spilled beer incident.

George Chibaya was drinking with 41-year-old Nelson Mazime and 44-year-old Zivengwa Zivengwa at a Hatcliffe bar last week when he accidentally spilled Nelson's beer. In response, Nelson and Zivengwa allegedly attacked George, leaving him with a cut at the back of his head. George returned home without seeking medical attention.

By Saturday, George began complaining of a severe headache and was rushed to Parirenyatwa Hospital, where he died before being admitted.

Following the incident, Nelson Mazime and Zivengwa Zivengwa were arrested in connection with George's death.

Harare provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza confirmed the arrests, stating, "The body of the now deceased is being held at Parirenyatwa mortuary awaiting post mortem. Investigations are continuing."

The case remains under investigation as authorities seek to establish the full circumstances surrounding the fatal assault.
