KFC store keeper Adil Patel has paid 1 million kwacha compensation to a security guard he assaulted a week ago.

Patel was involved in a fight with Bernadetta Tchale who works as a security guard at the restaurant.

He was later arrested after video of the alleged fight went viral and he was charged with common assault.

However, senior resident Magisrate Wananwa Chirwa granted Patel bail and permission for the parties to have outside court settlement following a plea that was made by Patel’s Lawyer, Oscar Taulo.

Taulo has since confirmed that the reconciliation took place and Patel has compensated Tchale with 1 million kwacha.

He said, now they are working on closing the case which is still in court.
