Man arrives home to find a drunk stranger snoring in his bed
A 19-year-old man from Lobengula Extension in Bulawayo got drunk on Boxing Day last year and broke into a house in Nketa 6 where he got into bed and fell asleep.
Ian Kumbirai was discovered by the owner of the house after midnight who then called the police to arrest him. Kumbirai appeared before Western Commonage Court magistrate Mr Shepherd Munjanja last week charged with unlawful entry.
He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 12 months in prison or to do 210 hours of community service at Magwegwe Police Station. Three months were suspended because he is a first time offender.
Prosecuting, Miss Melisa Dube told the court that on 26 December, Kumbirai went on a drinking spree with friends at Mnethi Balcony Bar in Nkulumane until it was late.
The court was told that Kumbirai later left his friends and went and broke into Mr Mandlenkosi Moyo’s house.
After breaking in through the door, he sneaked into the owner’s bedroom and slept. When Mr Moyo came back later that night he was surprised to find a stranger in his bed. He phoned the police who came and arrested Kumbirai.
