A TEENAGE imbiber's choice of music cost him his life after fellow patrons at a pub were annoyed by his selection and stabbed him with Okapi knives before fleeing the scene.
Police have identified the teen as Peter Matewuro, 19, of Matewuro village under Chief Njelele's area in Gokwe South.
Midlands police spokesperson, Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko, said the incident occurred last Friday at about 8pm as Matewuro enjoyed some drinks at Choes Beer Outlet at Zenda Mine in Gokwe.
The police officer said Matewuro had a misunderstanding with two men, Felex Kawadza, 28, of Mbizo in Kwekwe and Judgement Dube, 23, of Redcliff over the type of music he was playing at the pub.
The youth is said to have been playing the music on his mobile phone.
"We are investigating a case of murder where a man aged 19 was stabbed with Okapi knives by two suspects over differences in the taste of music," said the cop.
"It is said the deceased teenager was drinking beer while playing music of his choice at Choes Beer Outlet. The misunderstanding degenerated into a fight between Matewuro and Kawadza.
"Kawadza was overpowered and fell to the ground. Dube joined in the fight to rescue his friend who had been overpowered and started assaulting Matewuro."
Inspector Mahoko said Kawadza took out a knife and stabbed Matewuro once on the left arm.
"Dube also produced a knife and stabbed Matewuro once in the stomach. The two suspects fled the scene. The matter was reported to the police who attended to the scene," he said.
"Matewuro was ferried to Gokwe District Hospital where he was further transferred to Gweru Provincial Hospital but died on the way.
"His body was taken to Kwekwe District Hospital mortuary. The suspects were arrested and are assisting police with their investigations."
Inspector Mahoko appealed to members of the public to respect the sanctity of human life.
