Passenger kills driver over $10. iHarare has established from the Chronicle that the incident occurred in Filabusi, Matabeleland South. Everton Dube (21) from Tsotsi B Village in Filabusi has since been arrested for killing John Dube from Mberengwa. The incident occurred at Skuta area in Filabusi last Saturday at around 9 PM.
A dispute over $10 turned deadly after an irate passenger killed the driver of a private vehicle by stabbing him in the abdomen. Everton is reported to have demanded $10 back from the $55 he had paid to John, arguing that the ride had been uncomfortable because he had been seated in the pan of a pickup truck.
Unfortunately, the disagreement escalated rather quickly and Everton stabbed his namesake in the abdomen. The knife is said to have left the intestines protruding from the stomach.
After committing the heinous act, Everton is alleged to have removed the car keys from the ignition and fled with them. John, on the other hand, died on his way to the hospital after some good samaritans had stopped to ferry him there.
Everton was quickly identified and arrested by the police at his home. Matabeleland South provincial police spokesperson Chief Inspector Philisani Ndebele confirmed the incident saying,
I can confirm that we recorded a murder case which occurred in Skuta area in Filabusi. The now-deceased John Dube was driving a Ford Ranger double cab from Zvishavane to Mbalabala with six passengers on board. When he got to Mberengwa turn off he picked up three more passengers who were going to Skuta and they agreed to pay $55 each.
…In this case, a life was lost over $10 yet the matter could have been resolved easily. People are often murdered over trivial issues. Motorists should also be careful on who they offer lifts and not pick up people randomly.
