A Shamva based 18 year old tout was jailed yesterday after attempting to kill a fellow tout who had joined the field at their bus stop.
Blessed Kufandirori was sentenced to seven years in jail by Bindura regional magistrate Elisha Singano.
The magistrate conditionally suspended two years on condition of good behaviour.
Prosecutor Edward Katsvairo told the court that on March 4 2022, Kufandirori teamed up with other touts and assaulted Sam Kudakwashe Chakuvira with burning logs and open hands.
They severely assaulted him and tried to throw him in the dam accusing him of invading their bus stop where they loaded unlicensed taxis popularly known as Mushika-shika.
Kufandirori’s accomplices are still at large.
