AN 18-year-old boy stabbed his friend with a knife, piercing part of his lung after getting rumours that he was also in a relationship with his girlfriend.
Bukhosi Moyo of Hlanganiso Village in Mwenezi reportedly stabbed Gwarazima Samuseti (19) accusing him of being in an affair with his lover.
After getting word that his girlfriend was cheating on him with Samuseti, Moyo hunted him down.
Without giving Samuseti a chance to explain, Moyo then drew out a knife and stabbed him on the chest.
Realising that he had committed a serious offence, Moyo escaped leaving Samuseti screaming for help.
The matter was reported to the police and Samuseti was rushed to hospital.
Moyo was arrested and appeared before Rutenga magistrate Honesty Musiiwa facing attempted murder charges.
He was remanded in custody to 25 February.
The court heard that Moyo approached Samuseti when he was playing soccer with other boys at the grounds.
He accused him of having an affair with his girlfriend and then produced an okapi knife from his pocket, stabbing him once on the lower side of the chest.
The complainant who was bleeding profusely fell on the ground and Moyo realising he was in trouble fled from the scene.
Samuseti was hurried to hospital where the doctor confirmed that the knife had penetrated part of the complainant’s lung. The complainant was treated and is recovering.
A doctor’s report will be produced in court as exhibit.
