A 26-year old house wife has been brutally murdered by her husband in the early hours of today at the weigh bridge area in Solwezi.
North-Western Province deputy Police Commanding Officer, Luckson Sakala, confirmed the killing and identified the deceased as Mary Mwanaumo of Kayombo village in Chief Kapijimpanga’s area.
Mr. Sakala said that the named husband used a sharp object, suspected to be a knife in the murder by cutting the woman’s throat.
He added that the husband tried to kill himself by also cutting his throat but after feeling the pain he decided to walk to Kifubwa River so that he could drown himself.
Mr. Sakala said when Police ran after him, they found the man gazing into the river with blood oozing from his throat before they apprehended and rushed him to Solwezi General Hospital where he has since been admitted.
Mr. Sakala pointed out that the suspect would be charged with murder as soon as he discharged from the hospital.
This is the second case of murder in the same area this year. The first was at Mutanda where another 26 year old woman, Christine Kapobe of Kabai village, was axed to death by unknown people as she was going to her field.

MHSRIP. Whatever the reason killing is the last thing one should ever think of!
Killings of such nature happens everywere. It depends on what type of relationship one goes into. Some men are so selfish . There is no ‘partnership’ into most relationships, especially in Zambia. Men always have and consider themselves superior heads of the house.
Its a long standing problem ,or is it tradition???.
But why
Could have been that the woman wanted to finish with the man and he would not accept that. Some men even say, if I can’t have you, then nobody will. They only like dumping women. However they do not have the courage to be dumped themselves. Ninshi they will try and kill you. Odd isn’t it!
or his friend was servicing.
kachasu, bakaonde tabakolwa bwino!
mwambenga bulongo.Men generally are selfsih and think they have the right to do harm to women.
May her soul rest in internal peace.
Really!
Where are we heading to??? these men are going finish us all the women!!! M.H.S.R.I.P
You men, whats this devil which is making you kill innocent women? I doubt if the that devil has a convincing reason as to why he murdered his wife……
Baby c
,maybe she rufused to give him some s.e.x for breakfast or the man went home late and the poor woman was trying to get some answers from him and he just lost it .
some men Baby c,point of correction not all men do that.
Thanx! Most men to be precise!
He may be justified
Even Hitler has reasons for killing six milion people
HAD, the man is long gone!
There’s never a reasonable reason to kill! Man has no right to take a life anyway – period!
God gave men a brain and the other thing but not enough blood to go to both at once.
But why did this guy kill his wife?It hasn’t been narrated well,all the same he wasn’ suppose to kill her.MHSRIP.
The man might have been highly provoked.But killing is not the solution.

Baby C,yu made my day,am a man but yo comment says it all,however, there still millions of men who will not resort to barbaric means of resolving differences.some of these men are ill mentally,i wish we had a well established psychiatry centre where these pipo cud be assessed b4 throwing them into prisons.honestly,this man is sick or smoked too much fimofimo.

God have mercy [-x
Yaba….killing ba sweetie!!!!!!!
Sad indeed
ati ni credit crunch may her soul rest in peace somebody must have eating the other half ,men dont just kill they must be something
Poor journalism! Do yo homework… Why did he kill her? How long have they had marital problems..? What do neighbours know about the couple? Those are the issues you sh’d have included. Otherwise do not give us half baked news items.
Probably the man just wont talk or his partly slit throat’s too swollen to talk. He’s the only one who knows why he did it I suppose!
too bad such things are happenig, this might be the end of the world
“Police found the man gazing into the river with blood oozing from his throat”. I wonder what the coward was seeing in his image in the river, SATAN! Chiluba should also try to cut his throat for ordering the killing of Tembo and Penza.
