A MAN from Cowdray Park suburb in Bulawayo was fatally stabbed by a gang of unknown suspects following a fight with a female patron at a local sports bar.
The incident occurred on Monday at around 10PM.
The victim identified as Perseverance Ncube was found lying in a pool of blood in front of the sports bar. He had a stab wound on the left side of the chest.
Sources said Ncube had a misunderstanding with a woman who was drinking at a sports bar in Cowdray Park. The dispute degenerated into fight resulting in a group of men who were also at the night club ganging up and attacked Ncube.
