A Bindura based man was beaten to death by a man he labelled a Mushurugwi at a farm in Bindura.
Sineki Paulos of Foothill, Bindura, was allegedly fatally assaulted by Mbare based Innocent Washafi (30) last Thursday.
Acting Mashonaland Central police spokesperson Sergeant Major Samuel Chikasha confirmed the case.
"I can confirm a murder case in Bindura where Paulos was bashed to death by Washafi after they met at a local tuckshop and had a misunderstanding over the place of origin of Washafi," Chikasha said.
"The now deceased asked the accused if he still recalled meeting him the previous day, and accused him of being a Mushurugwi who should be chased away from the farm."
It is alleged that Washafi assaulted Paulosi with open hands, and left him for dead on the ground.
He was pronounced dead upon arrival at Bindura hospital.
He urged people to desist from violence especially when they are under the influence of alcohol.
