A 25-year-old man was today denied bail in the Katima Mulilo Magistrates Court on a murder charge after he attacked his biological father.

It is alleged that Munembo Sibonena hit his father with a pounding stick at the back of his head on Tuesday at Wabona village in the Sibbinda area, accusing his father of bewitching him.

Sibonena Lukaezi, 59, was rushed to Katima Mulilo State Hospital, where he died on Wednesday morning.

The case was postponed to March 13 for further investigations.
