A 39-Year-old man of Shinampamba Village in Luchena area of Chief Shezongo in Itezhi-tezhi District has committed suicide  after killing his wife, his  mother-in -law and his nine-month-old child.

Police and relatives to the assailant confirmed to ZANIS in Itezhi-tezhi over the weekend, that the incident happened on Friday around 18:00 hours.

Police said Albert Kabangu,39, killed his wife Nyambe Mary, 33, his mother in-law Annah Kabangu,57, and his nine month- old child following a failed reconciliation attempt with his wife.

Police said the assailant attempted to reconcile with his wife from whom he had been separated for over two weeks, but the wife vehemently refused resulting in a fierce fight between the two.

Osten Mangwato, a relative to the husband, said the mother-in-law tried to stop the fight but the son-in-law hit her with a hoe stick on the head and she died instantly.

Mangwato narrated that when the wife saw that her husband had become uncontrollable,  she attempted to run away but he caught up with her and repeatedly hit her with a hoe stick until she died.

Mangwato said the man then ran home and killed his nine month-old child and then hung himself.

All the bodies have been placed in the Itezhi-tezhi district hospital mortuary awaiting a postmortem.

Last month a man of Luubwe ward in Itezhi-tezhi disrict killed his wife and his eight month-old child after suspecting her of flirting with another man of the same area.

  1. Too bad for his wife,the child,and the mother in law.May their souls rest in eternal peace,as for the killer wacita bwino ukuyipaya coz the food which you were consuming will now be for someone better than you.May your soul not rest in peace,but in agony.

  2. Son-in-law Kabangu, mother-in-law Kabangu, same toterm. Big loss to the entire clan. We leave the matter in the hands of Jehova GOD to judge.

  3. Is Riday a new holiday or a festival in the Itezhi-tezhi District . LT please Explain this Riday? We are all confused on this matter.

  4. daisy, matworld, thot zuma had blocked the internet link in SA with the way u both went missin’ hope both of u are cool, dudes and dudettes at large, howzit hangin? this dude, no matter how dispicable this crime was especially the death of the little baby, in my opinion he was also a victim of diminished capacity. this is a typical case of temporary insanity and this dude was not in control at all. if it had been a methodical and slow attack, then yes, off with his head. but seein how spontaneous everythin cut. and on top of this, it happened on a Riday, totally new day of the week

  5. ….and then he hang himself, total show of remorse coz suicide was never part of the program, but reconciliation was…..

  6. Just to let you know, you must be using boxing gloves when beating your wife or children , it does not cause damage on their faces but they can feel it. if this guy used boxing gloves , he would be alive, some of these woman are stupid

  7. Dudelove….. this dudette over here is on top of the game, i feel blinged and blessed.. church was P.O.W.E.R.F.U.L… How you? Well, you know how it goes.. its nice to hibernate at times from this blog especially if only strange names are on

  8. There can only be one crime that could drive a man to such level of madness – it must have been adultery which was also defended by the mother in law. I cant think of anything else that can drive a man to such levels of madness. If it is not that then he must have smoked the strongest weed ever grown on earth. Otherwise, this is lunacy of the worst order. He has destroyed three generations of people in one family. But if it was adultery committed by the wife leading to the birth of that child, then I probably would sympathise with the poor fella!! MTSRIP.

  9. What a beast! One wonders…was this man’s sole purpose in life to be married to this woman? Or more probably, his sole purpose of existence was to be the executioner of the two helpless woman and the baby. I always feel to understand why evil people are born and let to live.

  10. Sad news….though it pains but resorting to killing is not a solution guys. Learn to live independent life…your living on earth does not depend on other people. You can make the most out of your self even when your wife or husband disappoint you.

  11. daisy, dudette, its totally off the hook that u on top of the game and feel blessed. positivity is never a bad thing and i feel you on the whole ‘strange name’ thingy, i find myself unable to blog sumtimes…its like barging into a total stranger’s digs and start critisizing their furniture arrangment or sumthin. stay positive xsay. me rite now, i feel sorry for this killer dude. saw a cuz lose control and almost killed his wife. we jumped in and ended up gettin a few bruises ourselves. the look in my cuzin’s was sumthin i had never seen in his eyes b4 and i’ve know this own my whole life. later, he bawled like a baby wen he came to his senses and turned himself in to the coppers. am just sayin that sh!t like this cuts and we cant always ctrl it.

  12. Sad indeed. Hardships of village living makes some people permanently angry. In some areas you’re not expected to live after you’ve been caught messing around with another man’s only source of hapiness (woman). They usually don’t have this comfort zone of alternatives.

  13. No 14 we are celebrating Women’s month this August and you are encouraging men to use boxing gloves. My suggestion to you is you buy the gloves for yourself so that your friends can teach you a lesson. Shame on you!

  14. # 14, I dont understand pipo like you, are you the one who gave this killer that same advice? You are a sad person, some one is dead, or pipo have died and you are talking about using Boxing Gloves, You Shameless Man.

  15. # 22 But it is a Sin to kill Gods Children, even if they are guilt or not, in this case it seems like the man didnt want anybdy to have his wife, so he killed her.
