A Man in Solwezi killed his girlfriend and later committed suicide, Police have confirmed.
The man has been identified as Kennedy Mufwata of Kyawama compound in Solwezi. He is suspected to have killed his girlfriend, Malian Chibwe, 30, of Mufumbwe with whom he had a son aged nine months.
Mr Mufwata is said to have confessed to the victim’s relatives who reside in Solwezi about the killing and later took his life by drinking an unknown poison.
This is according to a statement released in Lusaka yesterday by police spokesperson Elizabeth Kanjela.
She said the victim’s father, Aaron Chibwe, reported the matter to Solwezi police.
Ms Kanjela said Mr Mufwata was staying with his girlfriend but left for his home town after the child was born due to constant differences.
On Wednesday the suspect was seen by Malian’s relatives and it is suspected the same night, the two together with their child left for an unknown place.
“The following day on April 19, around 05:00 hours, Kennedy went to some of Malian’s relatives based in Solwezi and told them that he had murdered her. He further told them the place where the murder took place in Mufumbwe,” she said.
Ms Kanjela said Malian’s body was found at a proposed site for a new market in Mufumbwe.
The fate of the baby is not known.
Malian’s body is in Mufumbwe hospital while that of her boyfriend is in Solwezi General Hospital.
Meanwhile police have recovered a stolen Toyota Corolla registration number ACP 5076 between Solwezi and Chingola.
Ms Kanjela said the vehicle was stolen on April 19 from a taxi driver identified as Gideon Mukwemba.

Bwafya sana. Zambia has become hell. Women cheating is the order of the day.
THE KEY PEOPLE TO CURE THE GBV ARE MEN!!! MEN SHOULD NOT TAKE WOMEN FOR GRANTED LIKE THEY DONT HAVE FEELINGS,MEN MUST LOVE INDEED AND RESPECT TO AGREE TO DISAGREE….
The works of the devil. Lets be at guard to avoid the dragon’s schemes to drag everyone in his death trap! Shame….
Too bad.Ifilechitika muno muchalo kuchi wapapa.MTSRIP.
Well done St Dorothy police for recovering the stolen Motor Vehicle, its now time for the N/W command to provide the named station with transport because this station boarders the two provinces (C/B and N/W) and its a very important police point for combarting crime.
Very sad indeed. @OXMOS, wickedness is not a gender issue. It is a human issue, and to find solutions we must work as humanity, addressing the right issues, not dividing ourselves into gender camps of denial and antagonize each other when the real issue is something else. We all need a moral servicing. Indeed Love must rule.
Men cheat all the time and when their woman does it, they cant take it! Punks. Cant taste your own medicine uh!
Thats too general a statement, Nubian Princess. I like your name. Its Royal and noble and reflects Africa’s glory. However, this, like I said, is not a gender issue. Not every man who has been cheated on has done something stupid in response. Like wise, some women have also done stupid things after being cheated on, and sometimes just on mere suspicion. Lets not make a gender issue out of what really is not. Men and women, we’re all just people. Both sides do good things and both sides do stupid things. Both sides have nice people and both sides have absolute *****s.
This is sad. I’m touched.
Its written in 2tim 3v2-5 dat in da last days there will be so much wickdnes!brethren,prepare yoselvs for eternity no!demons r all over ready to poses any idle mind n use it for such acts
So there is no other way couples can settle their differences apart from beating or killing.i better marry my foriegn guy other than zambian man.As princess has said its ok for a man to cheat and then start accusing a wife for nothing and then comes to ndiwe hule nanga imwe palast they start fighting.anyway thats the works of the devil he tells you to kill then after he tells you the police wil come for just kill yourself visililemo awe sure God deliver us.
