Police in Lundazi have arrested two teenagers for allegedly murdering their Uncle Typing Ng’ona 56, of Musulwa village in Chief Mwanya’s area.
The arrested teenagers have been identified as Bebe Manda 15years and Kunda Zulu 19 years, both of Shabani Village in Chief Mwanya’s area.Two other people, Pepulani Banda and Tapson Mwanza both of Museleka Village, ran away when they heard that Police were looking for them.
Mr. N’gona met his fate on Friday 29th May last week around 16;00 hours when he was told that his niece Gladys Mwanza 38, who had been pregnant, had died of prolonged labor on her way to the clinic.
When he got to the place along the road where the Gladys had died, Tapson accused him of causing the death of Gladys. It was at this point that the quartet descended on Typing.
They beat him with sticks, in the presence of more than fifty people who had gathered along the road, who just watched without stopping the beating.
The four dragged Ng’ona while beating him and calling him a witch as they headed towards the funeral house where he passed out.
When they realized that he had died, they left him on the ground, until his cousin Lyson Lingo took the body away around 03;00 hours on Saturday the following morning.
According to the medical officer who was manning Mwanya Clinic at the time, Ng’ona sustained deep cuts on the head, broken ribs and bled heavily from the mouth and nose.
The same officer accompanied Chief Mwanya to check on the body and the situation in the area the following day on Saturday.
After this, the Chief sent a message by radio to the Police on the same day. However, Police arrived in Chief Mwanya on Tuesday as they did not have their own reliable utility vehicle.
They had to borrow a vehicle from one of the Government Ministries to travel to Mwanya.
Police apprehended Bebe and Kunda yesterday and the Eastern Police Chief said they will appear in court soon. A man hunt has been launched for Pepulani and Tapson who are on the run.
A check by ZANIS in the area found that most of the people in the chiefdom especially children were disturbed by this incident.
People were not willing to talk about it openly as they feared that they may be victimized for sympathizing with the late Typing.
Chief Mwanya said he will do everything in his power to help Police arrest the two who are on the run and hoped that the law will take its course.
ZANIS
But pa zed!!!
What kind of animals are we who can stand and watch while some body get murdered in broad daylight…shame….
What! Typing has been killed? This is lawlessness kwena. The police are equally to blame because we wondered why typing wae roaming the streets. Am speechless. Only in Zambia do you have such drama.
Gladys Mwanza afwa ne fumo!chabulanda sana.but in rural areas clinics & hospitals are miles away ,so umuntu ngalesungamina mukupaapa bafwile bamutwala bwangu ku chipatala munshita iyayana.epo napela.
#2 this is another Typing whho has been killed this time though the incident sounds the same.It was Jackson Mwanza who was roaming the streets after killing Typing Ngoma. Has this chi Mwanza guy been arrested by these cops ?Sad story indeed when people are killed in full view of the crowds, what is wrong in that Mwanya’s chiefdom ?
Education is very important not every death is caused by witchcraft. This woman died in labor which is a very common thing in third world countries not to mention that the woman’s age did not help issues. Any pregnancy after age 35 is high risk. This is really sad especially that a crowd stood there without helping this poor man. What a shame!
A dumbu bane niuli kasi kupayana????????????? Law and Oder dont seem to exist in that land of Kanele box 1
REPEATED STORY. LT YOU ARE BECOMING ZNBC
yabaa!!!!
Sad indeed! Whats more saddenining is that more than fifty pipo were watching this gruesome murder unfold.Anyway let me not condemn them coz if its pipo like Teta and Mulongoti i cant hestitate to join in the beatings.
imwe baice zoona,dnt take the law into yo awn hands,nd wy more thn 50 people watching sombody being killed,the chief should olso punish the villegers for tht coz 50 people can not fail to stop 2 people no matter hw powerful they cn be
Shame!!! and those two boys one at 15 and the other at 19 are suppose to be in school or college and not sleeping in cells for such a story.
Shi Taonga, Thanks for that correction. Bene Typing bavutisa ku Lundazi ayi?
#4. dalitso. Your warning wouldn’t have come at a right time than now when we are mourning the unfortunate death of Ms Gladys Mwanza. It is very common for women who had previously borne children on their own to delay seeking help when in labour thinking that it will be a normal delivery as usual. As a woman gets older, the pelvis( the bone structure surrounding the uterus) contracts or shrinks in size. Equally, chances of a woman having a big baby are more as she grows older, say past 35 years. Consequently, obstructed labour( difficult labour) as a result of the twin factors aforementioned is more prevalent in older women. Take note bloggers, as a lot of women have lost their lives in similar circumstances due to lack of knowledge.
To much dobo in eastern province.
Iwe LT u are now confusing us this story.its all repetition (just like ZNBC).In the “‘related news” section just above the first blogger’s post, check the story under “Lundazi man beats 65 year old to death” .
Its better to uneducated than being uncivilized
BaLT were do you get your stories from ? You have changes the years of this Typing and Surname to make it look like a different story and yet thay all bewitched the same Gladys Mwanza who had prolonged labour. You have also increased the number of murderers, what of wrong with you ? please give us true and updated stories not repeated ones
Hmmm. LT, you making me DOUBT your reporting now…. does this mean you you didnt gather your facts in your previous report teh?
LT, what’s happening? Same story repeated but with different details. We shall start doubting you. Check what you gave us on 2 june 2009. I even posted my comment thinking it was my uncle who had been killed by one Jackson Mwanza. In this one, Jackson is not even mentioned among the suspects. What’s the situation?
Kanshi LT uliwabufi? Ndefileka!
#8, Yes the same story but now in full detail. The fisrt story did not cover what has just been narrated in this one.
ubuwelewele muchalo!!
when is premitivity going to end in some parts of our country? this is all due to lack of education. these are ther places where the government should be concentrating on taking education and proper health care to.
People, stories can changes as reporters gather more information, LT is cool.
The fact is Typing was murdered and Kapoko is to blame. K27b could have put health centers in rural areas.
Woman of shani uko #24, Typing was already dead before getting to any medical centre. Dont blame Kapoko for everything , ka. Taliko Kapoko pamene Typing was being clobbered. Kapoko has enough problems as it is. Give him some room to breath. Those lawyers need money nabeve ka?
Mwe bantu obviuosly ni ndoshi pakuti abantu baletamba fye balebapuma awe, but life is sacred no one can take the law in their hands. I got a feeling Typing had nothing to do with this death but coz maybe he did it once…. too bad. But aka ka story kwati kabufi
why police don’t have own transport? And every health centre should have own ambulance and mobile phone to help it keep in contact with patients in remote areas. Do away with mobile hospital as that will not benefit all rural health centres
Primitive Savages!
