Chipinge man bashes colleague over borrowed spanners

A CHIPINGE man has been fined $100 or 10 days in prison after he brutally attacked his former workmate for asking him to hand back tools he had borrowed.

Victor Derera (33), of Gaza E in Chipinge, was convicted on his own plea of guilty to assault when he appeared before Chipinge magistrate Joshua Nembaware.

In addition to the fine, three months in prison were wholly suspended for five years on condition he does not commit a similar offence within that period.
