Police in Nchelenge district in Luapula Province are holding a 28 year old man for allegedly killing his 24 year old pregnant wife.
The man, identified as Moses Mutawa of Nkalamo Village in Chief Kambwali’s area, was apprehended by police after he allegedly killed his wife, Agnes Mulenga of the same Village after a domestic dispute.
Luapula Province Police Commanding Officer, Auxencio Mbewe said Mutawa, who is believed to have been drunk on the material day, kicked and punched his wife on 1st November, 2009 in unexplained circumstances, resulting in her death two days later.
He said results of the postmortem conducted on the deceased at Saint Paul’s Mission Hospital revealed that she was about two months pregnant at the time of her death.
Mr. Mbewe said the accused man is being held at Nchelenge Police Station and will appear in court soon.
He said the deceased was buried on Wednesday last week, at Nsoka Village after the postmortem.
Mr. Mbewe urged couples in Luapula Province to find amicable solutions to disputes instead of engaging in violence.
He further called on the people of Luapula to refrain from engaging in excessive beer drinking, as doing so affects their reasoning.
The Police Chief warned that the police will not take kindly to people indulging in any mischievous activities, adding that any one found wanting would be prosecuted.

Too bad.It is amazing how alcohol can turn one into a monster
Where is LOVE that led to their marriage??? Otherwise … She might have been forced on him hence mistreating her which led to killing.
Honestly… that is more than barbaric…. this man would have done better to send this lady back home to her parents. Iyi imisango yena tayiweme…
I am afraid this may become a stereotype of zambian men
Yaba too bad ……..
Bad …dont just drink guys.
is the death definetly related to the incident?
Beer is not the problem,The man is a problem.Guys beating women is wrong, If there are problem talk.
These fools are tarnishing the image of men. Had it being the days of the israelites when they were under the mosaic law this man would be dead by now. Soul for soul! Anyway we are not under the mosaic law. Let them cage him for a long, long time.
Mr. Mbewe,beer is not the problem.Its a catalyst,it exposes the real person.This man wa s a monster.Some men become loving when they take alcohol.Cage the monster for taking two lives for LIFE.
I pity the woman and the unborn child…will never be born child…sad indeed..have mercy LORD..AMEN.

I know this kind of men. They beat their wives and mistreat them bad kind but when the wife runs back to her parents, the poor chap humbles himself and goes to collect her. I had a cousin who used to behave like that. Sadly his wife also died because of beatings. Good thing is , the chap also died some years later, suspected HIV due to his miscelaneous life of beer and women.
I hope this guy will be sent to prison for life. At 28, he can nicely spend the next 40 years incacerated. Dont kill him, just jail him.
