A man in Zhombe in the Midlands Province allegedly stoned his brother to death over the Liverpool-Manchester City football match at the weekend, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
An ardent Manchester City fan, Peter Mhike allegedly killed his brother Edmore after he tried to restrain him from stoning a Liverpool fan, over the match.
Midlands provincial police spokesman, Emmanuel Mahoko said Peter picked up an argument with Joakim Moyo, a Liverpool fan, over which team was playing better, and this escalated into a fight in which the former used stones and other weapons.
The trio were watching the match live at a local business centre in Zhombe, central Zimbabwe. Sensing danger, Edmore tried to restrain Peter, but the young brother instead turned on him, hitting him with a wooden bench, and fatally with a stone.

“Peter turned against his brother and attacked him with a wooden bench. Edmore fell down and Peter picked a stone and struck him on the head and he died instantly,” Mahoko said. Peter fled the scene after the alleged murder, and police said he was still on the run. – New Ziana
