A GWANDA man has been arrested after he fatally stabbed his
friend with an okapi knife in a dispute over a R10 debt.
Farai Moyo (28) of Spitzkop North Suburb was not asked to
plead when he appeared before Gwanda magistrate, Ms Lerato Nyathi facing a
murder charge. He was remanded in custody to August 21.
Prosecuting, Miss Ethel Mahachi said Moyo met the now
deceased Moses Sibanda at Red Cross Business Centre in Gwanda when they had a misunderstanding
over a R10 debt which the deceased owed him.
“On 26 February Farai Moyo and Moses Sibanda met at Red
Cross Business Centre for a beer drink together with their peers. Moyo later
confronted Sibanda and demanded back a R10 debt which he owed him.
Sibanda denied knowledge of the debt and insisted that he
had given back Moyo his money which resulted in a misunderstanding.
“The two started fighting and Moyo drew an okapi knife and
stabbed Sibanda twice on the stomach before fleeing the scene. Sibanda was
rushed to the Gwanda Provincial Hospital where he was pronounced dead upon
arrival,” he said.
Miss Mahachi said the matter was reported to the police who
conducted investigations leading to Moyo’s arrest. Chronicle
