A fight over a lady of the night ended tragically for a man from Mberengwa after he was stoned and st*bbed to d3ath by rival suitors.
24-year-old Farai Mapuranga was k*lled by rival suitors following a misunderstanding over a thigh vendor at Beauty Mine Cocktail Bar Booking houses in Mberengwa.
Confirming the tragic incident to The Chronicle, Midlands provincial police spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko revealed that the late deceased had a misunderstanding with 21-year-old Simbarashe Chirume on Tuesday at around 1 AM.
“It is alleged Farai Mapuranga (24) had an altercation with another man, Simbarashe Chirume (21) over a lady of the night,” Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko said.
The altercation between Chirume and Mapuranga escalated into v!olence when Chirume physically attacked and manhandled Mapuranga.
According to the police report, another individual, only identified as Elliot, emerged from one of the booking rooms during the altercation. Elliot grabbed a stone and struck Farai Mapuranga twice on the head.
In a further act of aggression, Chirume produced an okapi knife and proceeded to stab Farai Mapuranga twice before fleeing from the scene.
Tragically, due to the severity of his injuries, Farai Mapuranga collapsed and d*ed after walking a mere 80 meters.
Upon receiving the report, the police promptly attended the scene, leading to the arrest of Chirume.
Meanwhile, the lifeless body of Farai Mapuranga was transported to the Zvishavane District Hospital mortuary for a postmortem examination.
Last year, another fight over a hooker ended in tragedy after a man was fatally st@bbed at Manditanga Night Club, situated in Tsanzaguru, Rusape.
Charles Ngara lost his life after a confrontation with Liberty Masibi escalated into v!olence. The dispute arose from a misunderstanding regarding a lady of the night, identified only as Maria.
Liberty Masibi and Charles Ngara were reportedly both vying for Maria’s attention. On the fateful night, Ngara had been drinking beer with Maria at the bar before Masibi confronted him.
The altercation eventually spilled outside the nightclub, where Masibi and Ngara engaged in a physical confrontation. Shockingly, Masibi produced a knife and st@bbed Ngara in the thigh, causing severe bl33ding.
Despite the efforts of fellow patrons to intervene, Ngara’s injuries proved fatal. He was immediately rushed to Rusape General Hospital, where he was admitted in critical condition. Unfortunately, Ngara succumbed to his injuries.
