Epworth tenant jailed for stabbing landlord

A 30-YEAR-OLD Epworth man was yesterday sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for stabbing his landlord following a brawl over gossiping.

Archiford Chikwanda, who was convicted of attempted murder, will, however, serve a three-year prison term after half of his sentence was suspended on condition of good behaviour.

In passing sentence, Harare regional magistrate Themba Kuwanda said Chikwanda deserved a custodial term because he tried to kill his landlord over trivial matters which could be solved through dialogue.
