  1. Lawlessness has descended upon the land. The humankind has turned itself into a creature of misdeed. Evil has become our refuge to settle disputes and scores. Morals are for the weak. So sad for this nation, but again only Zambians can redeem themselves.

  2. You first have to find out what lead to this child committing this crime and i hope he is not locked up with adults if there is any one from some NGO that deals with such matters or you know any in Zambia please follow up this matter.
