 MASVINGO- Tanaka Hora (26) of Plot 53, Kepure Farm in Chief Chikwanda area, Masvingo Rural is in hot soup after hitting his friend with a plank on the forehead following an argument over beer at Makusha Bar, Rumwanda Business Centre.

Jefreys Mukonzi (21) from Plot number 9 from Rumwanda Village under Chief Nhema in Zaka collapsed and died on May 11 after his friend Tanaka Hora hit him with a plank on the forehead.

Masvingo Provincial Police spokesperson, Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the incident and encouraged members of the public to solve their differences amicably without resorting to violence.

The circumstances are that on May 11 at around 7pm, the two friends were drinking beer at Rumwanda Business Centre.

The deceased bought a Super beer and shared it with his friend Hora.

When the beer was getting finished, the deceased then refused to share it with his friend who got angry and went to play snooker.

The other friend Tichaona Makuvise (19) then followed the accused to the pool table and sat on top of the table.

The already angry Hora violently poked Makuvise with a stick thereby starting a fight.

Mukonzi now dead, then tried to stop his friend Hora who took a plank from a chair and hit him once on the forehead.

Mukonzi then fell down just outside the bar and started complaining of head and arms pain.

He then asked his friends to take him home but collapsed again just a few steps away from the bar.

His friends called his mother and tried to render first aid help but failed to wake him up as he was unconsciously.

They took him to Chipinda Clinic where he was pronounced dead as they were preparing to take him to Ndanga Hospital for further examination.

A police report was made leading to Hora’s arrest.

Mukonzi’s body was taken to Ndanga Hospital for post mortem.
