Zvikomborero Chipungu, of Nyamakopo Village under Chief Charehwa, is currently assisting police with investigations following the death of fellow tout Givemore Majabvu (35), who died shortly after admission to Mutoko District Hospital.
Efforts to get a comment from the police in Mashonaland East province were fruitless yesterday.
According to a reliable source, on December 8, Chipungu and Majabvu were at Mutoko bus terminus touting for passengers.
It is alleged that the two began quarrelling over passengers, resulting in a fistfight.
