Following his discharge from hospital, chainsaw attack victim Andy Makoma has for the first time recounted the events that led to the incident while his wife expressed disappointment at how police handled the case.

“While outside l could hear the sound of the chainsaw but ignored it because around our location nearly everyone is in the business of fire wood.

“Andy opened the gate and reached the road. Suddenly the guy came running to him with a chainsaw aiming for his neck. l shouted, however, it was too late. Andy had raised his arm to cover his neck and in a split second was down covered in blood,” he said. “The following day when I came back from the hospital I found out that he was still in his house. When I went for the second time on Monday to give another statement, he ironically came to the police station to open a case against Andy. That is when he got arrested,” she said.
