ZANU-PF administration secretary Didymus Mutasa has vowed to sue MDC-T secretary general Tendai Biti for allegedly "accusing" him of causing the fire death of a 12-year old Headlands boy in February this year.
Mutasa vowed to take the MDC-T secretary general and Finance Minister to the cleaners over public statements linking him to Christpower Maisiri's gruesome death.
"I'm going to sue Biti for his reckless statements that I murdered Christpower Maisiri. I want Biti to tell me where he was when I was committing the crime. He must tell me all that," charged Mutasa.
"I will sue him for a lot of money and if he fails to pay I will attach his house!"
Christpower was son to MDC-T aspiring legislator, Sherperd Maisiri, who is also the party's deputy organising secretary for Headlands district.
The boy died after fire gutted a hut in which he was sleeping with his siblings. Four of the other children escaped the blaze but Christpowers was burnt to death after the roof caved in.
The MDC-T singled out Mutasa - the current MP for the area - for blame, accusing him or ordering an attack on Maisiri's home.
"We told Didymus Mutasa that he is behind the murder of this boy," Biti told mourners during the boy's funeral.
"If he thought we were hiding under the cover of cabinet privilege, we are now saying it in public - Mutasa you killed this boy! If you think we are lying take us to court for defamation," said Biti.
