#2, you sound like small brains, Sir. Nothing to do with Chinese investors, bandits were there in Lusaka long before those investors were involved in that unfortunate incident, long before Mr Sata left government if that is what you want to hear, Sir.
Police please cage these criminals before more precious lives are lost, MHSRIP.
# 2 U lk a surpporter of the vice. How du expect justice to be fairly exercised when actual killers/ armed employers are set free giving the rest an added advantage.
TRAGIC!!!!!ITS SO BAD MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY OF THE DECEASED BROTHER.
That is why I enjoy news like Police have shot dead a chap, because taking scum like that to court is a waste of time. Let the police find the robbers and shoot them to death even if they do not put up any resistance. That is why I love the work C5 are doing!!!!!!
The police know these criminals and they are tolerating them on purpose. They should hunt them down and bring them to account. It’s sad that we can be losing lives on account of these petty thieves.
These were small and poor gunmen who deserve to be killed. Robbing a talktime dealer for that inNombe Compund. Its unfortunate that a life has been lost but Zambia Police (CID) will bring to book the thugs.I am sure by now the cops have clues on the culprits whereabout.
