A MAN from Pumula South suburb who was caught stealing will
regret his bad habit after he was thrashed until he soiled himself at a house
in Makokoba.
Joel Dube, a source said, furtively entered a house in
Makokoba suburb where he regularly plays pool and gained entry through a window
and took pool sticks.
But the owner Admski Mbewe spotted him making off with the
stolen items. He fled but Mbewe caught up with him and soon after residents
joined in.
“They took turns to hit him all over the body. He bled
profusely from the mouth,” said a source close to investigations.
While the he was lying on the ground, the source said, they
noticed that he had already soiled himself and the marauding crowd was stopped
from battering him.
A report was made at Mzilikazi Police Station leading to
his arrest. Joel was rushed to Mpilo Central Hospital where he was treated and
discharged.
He appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Shepherd Munjanja
facing a charge of unlawful entry and theft. He pleaded guilty and was remanded
out of custody to Monday next week for sentencing.
