Trio up for assaulting cop over ‘prostitute’

THREE Bulawayo residents appeared in court last week, facing attempted murder charges after assaulting a police officer they found with a woman whom they labelled a prostitute.

This was heard by a Bulawayo magistrate Franklin Mkhwananzi when Ngqabutho Ncube (25), Langelihle Sicaba (27) and Sobala Sithole (26) all of Emhlangeni, appeared before him charged with attempted murder.

They were not asked to plead to the charge and were remanded in custody to May 18.
