A Zimbabwe National Army soldier who was arrested for assaulting a patron wreaked havoc in prison cells last week.

The soldier, Martin Zavave, of Buffalo Range Airport assaulted one Andrew Chaurura for refusing to buy him beer.

Zavave appeared before Chiredzi Magistrate, Constance Mutandwa and he was remanded in custody.

For the State, Chiedza Muhwandavaka told the court that on February 24, 2018, Zavave instructed Chaurura to buy him beer but the latter refused.

Zavave took a wooden stick and assaulted Chaurura all over his body.

Chaurura was ferried to Chiredzi General Hospital where he was treated and discharged.
