A man identified as Mussah Namakwera has been arrested by Police officers at Makokola in Mangochi District for assaulting a bar employee over a disputed pool token.

The incident occurred on Sunday at Makawa Trading Centre where the suspect, Namakwera, had gone for leisure at a local bar. The victim has been identified as Lucius Nyozani Goliath, who was also a customer at the bar.

According to Mangochi Police Station, Public Relations Officer, Inspector Amina Daudi, the victim went to the bar and found the suspect serving other customers. He then paid the bar employees to get a pool table token but reported that he did not receive it.

This led to a dispute between Nyozani and Namakwera, with the victim requesting a refund for the pool table token, claiming that he was not given the token by the Bar owner.

Other customers who were in the bar at the time tried to convince Nyozani that he had already received his token, but their efforts were futile.

“Fight erupted between the two and in the heat of the fight, Namakwera took a metal object and assaulted Nyozani several times in the head causing cuts. He became unconscious due to excessive loss of blood,” Daudi said.

The matter was reported to Makokola Police Unit while the victim was rushed to Koche Community Hospital where he was referred to Mangochi District Hospital before being further referred to Zomba Central Hospital due to his critical condition.

Meanwhile, the suspect is expected to appear in court to answer charges of unlawful wounding.
