8 sex workers stab their usual client after being cold-shouldered in Nkhotakota

A 23 year-old man is battling for his life at Nkhotakota district hospital after being stabbed by  eight sex workers.

According to Nkhotakota Police Station deputy spokesperson Paul Malimwe, the eight sex workers operate their business at trading centre of  the district  and on Tuesday in the evening they stabbed Thokozani Mkali, negotiating with another girl while ignoring them despite being  their usual client.

“It is said on the day the victim after getting drunk called his usual girlfriend who told him to wait as she was already booked by another customer.

“This prompted Mkali to look for another girl but as he was negotiating the usual girl found him and misunderstanding erupted,” said Malimwe.

The usual sex worker then called her friends and they pounced on the man. The young man sustained deep cuts on the head among other parts.

Nkhotakota Police Station intervened in the matter and arrested the sex workers.
