A gang of five machete-wielding men caused chaos at Bellmine Big Bar in Kwekwe, leaving one person critically injured.

Midlands Provincial Police Acting Spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Xolani Dube, told Masvingo Mirror that the attack occurred on Tuesday around 10 PM.

Thomas Dhikinya, 40, was stabbed in the stomach and is now fighting for his life in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Kwekwe General Hospital after his intestines were exposed.

Dube urged anyone with information that could help track down the attackers to contact their nearest police station or send a message via WhatsApp on 0712 800 197. Said Dube:

“The Zimbabwe Republic Police confirms investigating a case of attempted murder which happened at Bellmine Big Bar on Tuesday night around 2200 hours.

“Thompson Dhikinya of Mbizo in Kwekwe was drinking beer at the bar together with other patrons when five unknown suspects who were armed with knives and machetes arrived.

“The suspects indiscriminately assaulted everyone in the bar for unknown reasons, and Thompson was stabbed with a knife once in the stomach.

“He was found with protruding intestines lying in a pool of blood outside the Bar by a passerby who reported the matter at ZRP Amaveni.”
