Biti assault case: Second witness testifies

THE second State witness in the trial of Citizens Coalition for Change deputy president and lawyer, Tendai Biti who is accused of verbally assaulting local businesswoman Tatiana Aleshina, yesterday told the court that the incident left him “feeling sorry for the victim”.

Givemore Kasekete told court that Biti charged towards the complainant while shouting and pointing a finger at her at the Harare Magistrates Court in 2020.

“I thought he was going to physically assault the complainant judging by the way he was shouting and charging towards her,” Kasekete told court.
