12 year old kills friend after dispute

Share

A 12 year old boy of Kalomo has been arrested by Police following the death of a fellow minor.

Police sources in Kalomo who confirmed the incident to ZANIS said the minor hit his friend with a stick on the head after a quarrel over a broken fishing rod. The boy that was hit later died in the district hospital .

The sources named the deceased as Busiku Hikuhuna, 13 of Chibwe farm who died yesterday. The named accused is currently in police custody.

The duo are reported to have picked a quarrel around 17:00 hours on Sunday when the accused broke the deceased’s fishing rod. The deceased is reported to have punched the accused on the cheek who then in anger got a stick and hit his friend on the head. Hikuhuna sustained injuries and later died in the Kalomo district hospital.

And in another development, a combined team of state and council police yesterday swung into action around midnight and pounced on underage people patronising night clubs and beer houses in the township.

Kalomo District Council Secretary, Alfred Mungalu said over 15 juveniles were nabbed in the raid. He said their parents would be called in to be given first warning to keep their children from patronising beer premises.

He warned that the civic authority would from now onwards not hesitate to nab under age patrons in beer premises to bring sanity as stipulated by the law.

  4. Don’t police have anything better to do than arrest juveniles.

    Close those drinking places ,revoke their liquor license and fine the owner.

    Shame about the death of the boy.

  5. #4 & # 5,u pipo dont blame much the yng boy it waz a normal qurrell wch evry1 can have, the young boy did not intend to kill so dont call him thoz names,infact thr are minors the boy jst needs more counselling

  6. well too bad that the young fellow died. However, I don’t think the young fellow meant to kill the friend. they say `ubushiku usheme necimbala ciloca’ I guess it was the case with the young lad.

  7. This is very saad, but accidents do happen, they need to investigate to find out what really happend. Shame they are just too young. What a Tragedy.

  8. I feel so bad for this young boy it was not intentional a terrible accident. Sometimes we do things in anger without realising what damage it can cause, the last thing he wanted was to kill his fishing friend but just to teach him a lesson about taking care of other peoples belonging. I hope the authorities can see that this was just a terrible accident and not a pre meditated killing.
    I hope this young boy can and will get the counselling he needs.
    May his good friends’ soul rest in peace?

  9. its a case of “boy slaughter” not murder. The boy was defending himself from the victim who, by theway was older. He should be counselled and be forgiven. it was an accident.

  10. Self defense both very young and inniocent they should release the other boy he didn’t mean it.
    sorry fro the loss of the other family death has to happen at some point.Only God knows when.

  11. zodie dube POST 11

    It’s much more shameful to be homophobic like yourself.

    If you treasure your own freedoms(masturbating) the don’t try to take away others.

  12. Its very unfortunate for boy coz it wasnt intentional. it seems it was just on impulse that he reacted in a way that killed his friend. He must be feeling bad as at now coz i think killing someone is the waste crime one can ever commit….i can see him growing up with guilt and without alot of help and support he may end up commiting suicide. what a shame.
