Amos Pearson
was asleep with his wife when Bigboy Majenje broke into their house midnight.
The couple were
awakened by the noise and Bigboy ran away, scaling the precast wall at the
property.
Amos caught up
and assaulted Bigboy using a metal rod while shouting “mbavha mbavha” to alert
his neighbours for help.
However, Bigboy
wrestled and got control of the same rod, attacked Amos and kicked him on his
chest.
When Amos’ wife
and son tried to join, he returned to his bedroom where he died.
Neighbours
joined in, apprehended Bigboy and attacked him leading to his arrest.
