By A Correspondent- A 17 year old boy from Madlambudzi in Matabeleland South stoned his ex-girlfriend’s grandfather (86) after the elderly man barred him from taking the girl out for a date.

Matabeleland South provincial police spokesperson inspector Loveness Mangena said the boy (name withheld for ethical reasons) was still at large.

The smitten teen reportedly wanted to rekindle a love affair that he once had with the unnamed girl.

“Last Wednesday, the juvenile went to his ex-girlfriend’s home where he found the girl with her 86-year-old grandfather. He told the now deceased he had come to collect his wife. This did not go down well with the old man who asked the boy to leave his homestead and attacked him with his walking stick,” said Insp Mangena.
