How sad.I wonder whats the best punishment for the offender since he is mentally challenged.MTSRIP.
Its very sad.
Which is which he has been taken to the Hospital to determine his mental status or he is in police custody charged with two counts of murder??????????????????????????????
Just heard that the man is MMD and had a disagreement with villagers who are PF and vowed never to vote for RB…thats why the man killed them saying they were useless…
may be the police custody has become a hospital to determine his mental status…. this story is misleading…. cant comment. am out… to bereaved families – condolences….
Very sad ….my condolences…:((
Since is psycho, what do we do with him? send him to prison or let him lose…………
@3 Ba Piston, i was actually wondering about the same. First it was read on the news last night saying he is in police custody and also been taken to hospital to have his mental status determined. Then this morning, its written here exactly the same way! Bane, yes as zambians we ‘understand’ what you mean, but really say and write english as it should be written. No time to go through your articles?
Lozis at it I wonder if it was a rutial act trying to make mutti for sucession.
