A 28-YEAR-OLD Filabusi man has been arrested for allegedly
killing his neighbour by striking him with a brick on the head after accusing
him of cheating with his girlfriend.
Moses Sibanda of Zamanjalo Village was not asked to plead
when he appeared before Gwanda magistrate, Miss Lerato Nyathi facing a murder
charge. He was remanded in custody to September 1.
Prosecuting, Miss Ethel Mahachi said Sibanda met the now
deceased Carlos Ndlovu walking with his girlfriend and he accused him of being
in love with his girlfriend.
She said the two men had a misunderstanding over the
matter. Sibanda then struck Ndlovu behind his head with a brick. Ndlovu was
rushed to a nearby clinic where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
“On 21 May at around 2PM Sibanda was on his way to see her
girlfriend at her home when he met her on the way while she was walking with
Ndlovu. Sibanda became furious and confronted Ndlovu on why he was with his
girlfriend when he knew that they were lovers which resulted in a
misunderstanding,” she said.
“Ndlovu ignored Sibanda and then walked away leaving him
with his girlfriend. Sibanda pursued Ndlovu and demanded a response but Ndlovu
refused to entertain him. Sibanda accused Ndlovu of coming in between him and
his girlfriend and also blamed him for the misunderstandings which they had
been lately experiencing in their relationship. Sibanda picked up a brick and
struck Ndlovu on the back of his head before fleeing the scene.”
Miss Mahachi said Ndlovu lost consciousness and the woman
rushed to a nearby homestead where she sought help. She said Ndlovu was rushed
to a nearby clinic where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. She said the
matter was reported to the police resulting in Sibanda’s arrest. Chronicle
