www.Physinews.com : A DRUNKARD got beaten up by Zion church
pastors after burning their church and he
avenged the beating by striking a church
member with an axe.
Eliphas Ncube of Sishowe village appeared at
the
Bulawayo magistrates court before magistrate
Charity
Maphosa on charges of malicious damage to
property
and assault.
Prosecuting, Jeremiah Mutsindikwa told the
court that on 30 July 2016 at about 9pm
Pastor Innocent Ncube was conducting a
church service with other villagers
including the accused’s wife when he arrived.
Ncube disrupted the church service demanding
to see
his wife. After being stopped by other church
members,
he left and came back a few minutes later
armed with an axe and okapi knife.
The accused threatened to kill Pastor Innocent
Ncube
and the church members all ran away leaving
him at the scene.
He then took a burning log and set the church
on fire,
destroying everything in it to ashes.
He destroyed a hut valued at $500, a Bible
$20, utensils $100, 12 blankets $180, church
furniture (chairs, tables and bench) $100 and
groceries worth $21.
After burning the church, the accused went on
to a
bedroom hut belonging to Ester Ndlovu, the
owner of
the homestead where the church was built, and
used the same log to set the room on fire
destroying property valued at $7 042 that
included 12 blankets, 4 duvets, six suitcases
containing clothes, utensils, two bicycles, two
bags of cement and the room.
Upon realising that the accused had burnt the
church
and Ndlovu’s room, Pastor Ncube and another
church
leader, whose name was not mentioned are
said to have lost their tempers and beat him
up.
According to Mutsindikwa, the accused left the
scene
armed heading to his homestead. On his way
he met
Emily Mlalazi, a church member, who was
heading to
Zion church. As a way of vengeance and
without saying
anything, the accused struck Mlalazi once on
the left
shoulder and twice on the upper part of the left
leg with the back of the axe he was carrying.
In his defence the accused said he did not
remember
meeting Mlalazi and hitting her with the back of
an axe.
“Your worship, I went straight home after the
incident I
did not meet the lady.
I was drunk but I do not remember meeting
her,” he
said.
Ncube was remanded in custody and will
appear on 16
September for sentencing.
