An 18-year-old man was arrested in Chipinge after allegedly stabbing a sex worker while demanding a refund for services he claimed he had paid for.
The incident took place at Mabidoo Night Club, Checheche Town Centre, last Saturday.
Acting Manicaland Provincial Police spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka, identified the suspect as Cosmas Makuyana of Mahachi Village, under Chief Musikavanhu.
Makuyana allegedly attacked Patience Mlambo with a broken beer bottle following a dispute over money and perceived betrayal.
He appeared at Chipinge Magistrates’ Court charged with attempted murder.
Assistant Inspector Chinyoka said Mlambo, a known commercial sex worker at the growth point, was sitting outside the nightclub with her friend, Chipo Mashava, when Makuyana, who had been drinking inside, attacked her as she returned from the toilet. He said:
“The victim was rushed to St Peter’s Mission Hospital, where she remains admitted in serious condition.
“She was ferried to St Peter’s Mission Hospital, where she is admitted and receiving medical treatment. She is in critical condition.”
A formal report was later lodged at ZRP Chisumbanje, and officers attended the scene.
The broken bottle allegedly used in the attack has not yet been recovered, and investigations are still ongoing.
