A MAN from Bulilima is on the run after he allegedly beat up his 64 year old uncle to death for restraining him from fighting during a drinking spree.
Studymore Ndebele, 27, of Bezu Village in Natane Ward, allegedly struck Aleck Moyo, who is also from the same area, with a concrete block on the head on Thursday last week.
The old man fell unconscious and was rushed to United Bulawayo Hospitals where he died on admission.
Matabeleland South acting provincial police spokesperson Sergeant Nkosilathi Mkhwananzi confirmed the incident and said police had launched a manhunt for Ndebele.
He said Ndebele struck Moyo with a concrete brick after he restrained him from fighting with a neighbour, Faiton Moyo.
Ndebele reportedly went to his homestead after the altercation, took some clothes and left without any explanation.
