A 32-YEAR-OLD man from New Lobengula in Bulawayo has been arrested for bashing his brother, with a pot on the head, who was restraining him from shouting at their mother.

Norman Gumbo appeared before Western Commonage Court magistrate Mr Shepherd Mjanja on Wednesday last week facing a charge of assault. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 months in prison or to do 175 hours of community service at Inkanyezi Primary School.

Prosecuting, Miss Melisa Dube told the court that on 19 January 2022, Norman came home drunk at around 8pm and started verbally abusing his mother. His brother, Tendai tried to intervene by telling him to stop insulting their mother.

The court heard that a misunderstanding then ensued between the brothers and Norman hit his older brother on the head with a stainless steel pot.

The medical report indicated that Tendai sustained deep cuts on the head, and Norman was reported to the police, resulting in his arrest.
