Harare regional magistrate, Mrs Marehwanazvo Gofa has deferred the bail ruling to tomorrow for a Harare man whose pit bulls fatally attacked a passerby in Bluffhill last month.

Mike Mapinga, who is being represented by Mr Tanaka Kangira, is facing charges of culpable homicide.

Mrs Gofa advised the court that the ruling was not yet ready, hence the parties could return to court tomorrow morning.

The State alleges that Mapinga, the owner of three pitbulls and a Rottweiler, acted negligently when he left his unmuzzled dogs unsupervised at his rented property.

The dogs reportedly scaled over the low wall and attacked Samuel Machara, a passerby who was walking along a nearby street.

Machara died due to the injuries he sustained.
