Tinashe Chirume, who was with the victim when he was assaulted, said his uncle, who might have been drunk, just disappeared and was later found with injuries after he was assaulted outside the bar by the security guards.
“He had just arrived from Zaka, and we don’t even understand why they hit him because he just strayed into the bar and meant no harm,” Tinashe said.
