A Mbare man has been taken to court facing attempted murder charges after hitting a vendor with a stone on the forehead.
Peter Chaita, 18, of Mbare, appeared before magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa at the Harare Magistrates’ Courts accused of attempted murder.
The State, through Pardon Dziva, alleges that, on April, 9, 2023, at around 21:30 hours at corner Robert Mugabe Way and Rezende Street in Harare CBD, Rhoda Dongo, the complainant in the matter, who was selling some wares, saw her son, Loveson Chadambuka, surrounded by a mob and rushed to see what was taking place.
On arrival at the scene, Chaita picked up a stone and hit Dongo on the forehead.
