In a rather ludicrous development, a man from Harare’s Crowhill suburb was hospitalized after he was fatally stabbed during a dispute over a dog fight.

Austin Nyabanga was admitted at Parirenyatwa Hospital after he sustained a deep cut during an altercation over a dog fight.

The alleged aggressor, Kembo Chatyora appeared before a Harare Magistrates Court facing assault charges.

Allegations are that on an unspecified date, Nyabanga and Chatyora two met at a shebeen in Crowhill and their dogs barked at each other.

Chatyora allegedly hit Nyabanga’s dog with a brick. Infuriated Nyabanga confronted Chatyora and a fight ensued. The accused allegedly produced a screwdriver and stabbed the complainant, who sustained a deep cut.

Harare magistrate Dennis Mangosi remanded Chatyora in custody to today (Thursday), ZTN reports
