A Gwanda man is on the run after he allegedly killed his drinking partner following a misunderstanding, police said yesterday.
The incident occurred on Sunday at Dombo Business Centre in Guyu area at about 7.30pm.
Matabeleland South provincial police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Christopher Ngwenya said on Sunday this week, the suspect, William Ndlovu (31) of Mpaula village in Zimbabwe and his friend Reason Ndlovu were drinking beer at Dombo bottle store.
The two had started drinking in the morning at about 10am.
"At around 2pm, the two were joined by Allan Moyo (26) and his twin brother Ian and Stanley Moyo. They drank beer together until around 7.30pm when the bar lady, Bokang Dube (27) announced that she was going to close as she had run out of beer," said Asst Insp Ngwenya.
He said after the announcement by the bar lady, Stanley started acting strangely as he continuously kicked the door of the bottle store.
"Stanley started kicking the door and the suspect, Ndlovu, stopped him from doing that. A misunderstanding then arose between the two and the twin brothers and they started fighting using stones," said Asst Insp Ngwenya.
He said Stanley and Reason then ran away leaving Ndlovu and Allan throwing stones at each other.
"Ndlovu then struck Allan on the left ear. As a result, Allan fell down and died. The suspect ran away after committing the offence," said Asst Insp Ngwenya.
The matter was reported to the police who attended to the scene. The body was taken to Gwanda Provincial Hospital for a post-mortem.
"The suspect is still at large and investigations are in progress. We would like to appeal to members of the public to assist us in locating the suspect," said Asst Insp Ngwenya.
He said those with information that could lead to the arrest of Ndlovu can phone the Guyu Police Station hotline on 0778 527 212, make use of police suggestion boxes or advise any nearest police station.
Asst Insp Ngwenya urged members of the public to desist from any form of violence. He said they should instead seek third parties in resolving disputes.
