A thirty year old man of Nsombo village in chief Chabula’s area of Luwingu district in the Northern Province was on Tuesday brutally murdered by an instant justice mob.
Justine Kabaso, 30, of Nsombo village was murdered by an irate mob after he assaulted his deaf uncle and broke his arm over food.
The incident happened when Kabaso arrived home from his day’s drinking spree and demanded Nshima from his deaf uncle Leo Bwalya, 60.
Mr Bwalya gestured that there was no food and this infuriated Kabaso who descended on his uncle and beat him untill he broke his left arm.
This annoyed on-lookers who reported the matter to the police officer manning the Nsombo High School being constructed in the area.
The police officer rushed to the scene and apprehended Kabaso.
But when word further went round that Kabaso had beaten and broken his uncle’s arm over Nshima, a mob carrying, machetes, spears, and sticks approached the police officer and demanded for his immediate release to teach him a lesson.
They over powered the police Officer and took Kabaso to an unknown place where upon arrival, the mob first dug a grave in his full view around 12 00 hours Zambian time, and killed a snake that would accompany him in the grave.
They later descended on their victim and beat him up until he died.
Kabaso’s body is in Luwingu District Hospital Morturay, while his uncle is nursing his broken arm at Nsombo rural health center 73 Kilometres away, south of the Boma.

Get a life ! Why should you compare too different countries with completely different cultures and ideologies ? Go for an IMR brain scan.Something must be wrong with your two brain hemispheres.
In scotland such doesnt happen at all. This country is a joke Thanks
The law enforcement in Zambia needs to be changed. While I’m not a fan of cops, and think they often have too much power, people that commit crimes as part of a mob need to be brought to justice. If only a few from a mob are tried in court for their crimes, the message is that you can get away committing crimes when you’re in a crowd.
I dont even know what to comment. First it was Nshima, then drunkness, deaf, old age and then overpowered cop. where are we going?
This is terrible and makes sad reading; let GRZ know that there will be no development in the Country amidst poverty and hunger.
What are u doing in Scotland? @ Mushota. Is ur work cleaning buttocks of old people?
kabaso maybe needed to be detained under the health and mental act rather than criminal act of assault because he obviously had serious mental issues. his senseless act of a vulnerable old and blind man over food is enough proof of psychotic behaviour and the drinking of beer did not help but instead worsened his condition. i don’t agree with mob justice because even these people failed to abide by the law by committing a brutal murder of kabaso who might have being treated if district health authorities did their job right..so many kabaso(s) are out there waiting for mob justice???..nobody should be above the law if we are to remain a civilised society.
This is what hunger does. Am totally speechless.
Hmm ! Very practical guys they even killed a snake to burry him with ka ? Awe nizi… i think we can be selling some of these stories to hollyhood.I like these reality shows pa zed mwe..can`t wait to go, tho i fear i might just be another culprit of a mob.
#9, don’t worry, so long you are not an uncle beater you will be fine.
Lol…ok, then i`m safe.
This is terrible. Just terrible. The Cops need to move in. This is murder.
Peopla are killing each other over food coz of severe poverty, we need to rebuild our country to give people hope. MMD bye bye bye. We need some fresh air and PF is currently the alternative choice.
I’m mauless, the way people are killing each other. Kwati ninama sha m’panga. Where are heard to mother Zambia. Mwe lesa twafweni!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The legendary mushota!! Aawe mwe. Am sure LT wud be boring without pipo like you. OOhhh my ribs!!!
What is this Hutu behaviour in Zambia kanshi?
Time to deploy more police in every district, police need to start slapping people in these other districts as they do in Lusaka. Programs need to be made on television to educate our populace that justice has a governed route. President Banda act now cause your minister of home affairs is slipping.
Kwena abena Luwingu bakali sana. They dared the Zamcop to release of the culprit on the spot in order to teach him a lesson. After which they symbolically dug a grave and killed a snake right in front of his eyes. By then, the man must have instantly returned to sobriety and learnt his lesson but was not given another chance by the merciless mob.
