A PREGNANT woman has died after allegedly being beaten by her husband whom police have arrested in connection with the death.
The incident happened on Saturday around 23:00 hours in Kawama in Ndola.
Efforts to get confirmation from acting Copperbelt commissioner of police Joyce Kasosa proved futile as her mobile phones went unanswered.
But police sources said the woman identified as Memory Chama, 24, who was seven months pregnant was found with marks on her neck and a suicide note written in a man’s handwriting was found beside the body.
The sources said the husband Justine Mbewe, 28, a taxi driver reported the matter to Chifubu police station around midnight.
At the scene, police questioned the husband and asked him to produce Ms Chama’s other handwritten documents to compare the writing with the suicide note.
Investigations proved otherwise and Mbewe was arrested.
“When he reported the matter, he kept changing statements. Initially, he said his wife had committed suicide, then he told the police that he just found her dead upon returning from work,” the source said.
The source said the police became suspicious of Mbewe’s incoherent statements and detained him to assist with investigations.
He said Mbewe is detained at Chifubu police station while his wife’s body is lying at Ndola central hospital mortuary.
