A four year old boy of Munguwabuto village in Chief Chipalo’s area in Luwingu district died instantly after being bitten by an unknown snake.
The mother to the boy narrated that that her son, who was playing with friends, went to relieve himself not knowing that there was a snake in the toilet. She said the snake bit him on the head as he was trying to enter the toilet.
Hospital authorities also confirmed the matter to ZANIS in Luwingu yesterday.
The quick disappearance of the snake is said to have caused the boy’s relatives’ suspicion that the incident was witchcraft motivated as the kind of attack has never been experienced in the area before.
ZANIS
A snake in the toilet bit him on the head? No wonder the suspicions. Anyhow, may the family still find comfort and The Lord keep the soul of the little one.
Awe te lyashi ili. The story is if the snake swallowed the boy. snake bites are common please.Not even discovery Channel can run such a piece.This ZANIS reporter is lazy and should be memoed.
That kind of bite sounds like from the Cobra family! May the little one’s soul rest in eternal peace!!
May his soul rest in peace and sorry to the family!!! It must be a Black mamba
This surely sounds like a black mamba…not even witchcraft…ni mubobo guys.
Poor little soldier…we live in snake country…its best we constantly check our surroundings for those satans of creatures…RIP
Most likely been a victim of the black mamba. these snakes prey on rodents and happen to be near humans when following the scent for it’s food source. Don’t know why people still try to believe the witcraft myth. The fact that the snake vanished quickly points to this notorious snake M.H.S.R.I.P
yaba…insoka iyi yakutumwa ku filoshi.May his soul rest in peace.(bakaye kulikamuchape pakuti bakeshibe ichishinka)
Its a sad situatio9n. He is with God in heaven right now enjoying himself. He was only four so we can be very sure of this. Jesus once said bring all the children to me! MHSRIP.
Can one die instantly after being bitten by a black mamba ????
My the boy’s soul rest in peace. #9 the dead in christ are not with God. Although this a popular belief, its actually a wrong believe. There is Bilblical evidence that the dead are in the grave.
This snake is the one called NGOSHE it hits on the head and the persons falls immediately had they know what they had to do is to go where the little boy was and shout very loud and then run away immeiately. The snake comes back and it hits the person on the head again and it drains off the poison asuming that the person has died. And its leaves immediately the the person is back alive. #11 you must be Jehova’s witness (watch Tower) thats where there is that belief for other Christians believe and have understod it to be as # 9 said. #7 witchcraft is real believe it or not. And its difficult to prove one of practicing whichcraft but one with the Spirit of God and the Gifts of the Holy Spitit e.g discernment are able to see and tell. But am NOT saying the above story is witchcraft NO.
#5 Enigma
you nseem to be the only one who knows snakes its only a black mamba that can raise its head to the hight of the boys head. The snake is swift(the fastest), never in one place and highly vonomous.
#11 Life Maker
You seem to have confused yourself. To start with why have you said “May His Soul Rest in Peace”. This phrase was coined by godless people. It is not Biblical in that the Bible says a human being is in 3 parts – spirit, soul and body. As a person, you are a spirit being, you have a soul and you live in a body. When a person dies, the spirit and soul, which are inseparable, leave the body. It is the body you bury. The spirit / soul retains to God if you are a believer in Christ or a child. If you did not belong to God, your soul goes to hell.
So really only the dead in Christ “rest in peace”, although the reality is that they simply pass on to be in the presence of God their maker, enjoying themselves.
#12. Trigo. thanks for educating us , but I wanted to find wheather you have witnessed such incidence before???
Yes that was witchcraft. For snake to hide in the toilet and bite on the head it must been big. Usually when a snke bites a person usually its below the knee and very often get stuck on the victims leg. Pipo have everything to susupect witchcraft.
# 12 NSHAYUMFWAKO IYO.IS IT TRUE?MAY BE WE SHOULD CONSULT NATGEO.
Sorry MHSRIP, otherwise it could have been a bomslang or a twig snake, they can attack in that situation especially when felt threatened
#12 Once a mamba bites you, my friend you are gone within 20 min.The venom travels so fast in the human blood stream that you get to speechless, palalysis and die.It is not that all cases of a mamba bites in the head, NO, it depends the position and NEVER ever get closer to a person bitten by a snake you cannot find or identify as you said, if you make alot of noise say if it was a mamba, it will come and bite everyone even ten times and inject you with venom and die on the spot.Respect nature and do not joke about it.Any type of snake will never sake out venom once injected, does that make sense?Enjoy your weekend
RIP little soul
#2 Ba Matero please have heart, this family has lost a child and all you can say is that, thats not news? If Rupiah Banda’s son is the one who died, you would have been busy commenting. Remember we are all equal in the eyes of God whether you ride in a Benz with an eagle as the plate, or play with sticks in the bushes of Magoye. This story will motivate well meaning Zambians like most people on this blog to educate their relatives on the need to take care of the environments they live in, thats why this story has been published. As for #14 UK- Zed observer, my brother, please educate me on why then the bible talks about a resurrection if all the dead end up in heaven, why would you resurrect a person whose already alive? Did Jesus end up in heaven when he was dead for 3 days?
# 12 abena trigo mwashupa ha ha ha,shouting loudly ? Anyway i reserve my comments.Lol
that snake is a boom slang a.k.a Ngoshe.according to white a certain doctor told me,it takes a person about 7 and a half hours to die if bitten by boom slang.same time as black mamba.if you fing someone bitten by that snake,try resuscitate by putting him on an air machine or blow air into him.the snakes poison weakens all his muscles and when the diaphram is weak,he can breathe no more and dies from lacking oxygen.condolences to bereaved family
Ba Matero you should have a heart of a human being not that of a snake which bit the boy Zanis is not dicovery channel so if your dicovery channel can not run this story thats their ****ing business
i dint know snakes went to the toilet too….wat a shame abt the lose of the baby..
I hav read all your comments and
this I presume will wrap it up.
I agree with the black mamba
assumption, it has to be a black
mamba ( a black mamba aka mubo-
bo can in a single bite inject enough
venom to kill 12 grown men), what
do you think will happen to a 4 yr
old??? God rest his soul!
