Lloyd had allegedly objected to the loud music, after which one of the accused, who was drunk, pushed him onto the ground and started beating him. When his sister and neighbours tried to intervene, another accused slapped her and the neighbours also suffered blows, he added.
“The investigation suggested that the three accused, who were in an inebriated state, were talking loudly near Lloyd’s house late at night. Lloyd and his family objected to it and asked them to leave. However, when they refused to, it led to a war of words, and when Lloyd came down to the road, the trio beat him up,” said a police official.
The incident has sparked outrage in the community, with people demanding swift justice for the victim’s family. Tshe police have assured that they will investigate the matter thoroughly and bring the perpetrators to justice.
