Beitbridge magistrate
A 40-YEAR-OLD man has been arraigned before a Beitbridge magistrate for attempted murder after he allegedly struck a fellow villager with a log following a dispute over a donkey-drawn cart.
Secret Nyathi appeared in the court on Tuesday this week and was remanded in custody to August 9 this year.
The court heard that on July 27, Nyathi approached the complainant at his place of residence and accused him of taking his donkey-drawn cart from his son.
Nyathi allegedly struck the complainant with a log once on the forehead and twice on the back.
The complainant, who was bleeding profusely, escaped and sought refuge at a neighbour’s homestead.
The matter was reported to the police leading to Nyathi’s arrest.
