Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Vincent Dzimadzi who was seen in a viral video clip assaulting a child last year has been acquitted on the charge of committing an act intended to cause grievous harm.<\/p>\n

Ntcheu Senior Resident Magistrate\u2019s court has delivered a ruling in the case today. Dzimadzi was seen assaulting the boy in October last year up to a point of lifting him in the air and then throwing him on the ground, leaving the boy in agony.<\/p>\n

The boy\u2019s mother testified in court that the boy was accused of stealing 400 Kwacha and some undisclosed belongings from Dzimadzi\u2019s vehicle. In his ruling today, Senior Resident Magistrate said the state has failed to prove that Dzimadzi intended to grievously harm the child.<\/p>\n

Malawians on social have since expressed anger over the ruling with some suggesting that the clip was enough to lead to Dzimadzi\u2019s conviction. One social media user said: \u201cHow on earth with that horrific clip when you are watching it your body irritates and somebody defend it?\u201d<\/p>\n
