Thats so sad
sad indeed, there better channels of solving grievances than resorting to suicide.
He is a jelous man why did’nt he kill himself alone and leave his wife. Anyway, you never know the cause of the problem. Very Sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a coward… are these the kind of intelligence officers in our system?
Moderate finshi naimwe,tamwaka chinje ni free speech
 They are humans also, lets hope it is not about not being the father of one of their child.
THE OFFICER IS PF AND THE WIFE IS MMD. ONLY PF CAN ACT IN SUCH A BARBARIC WAY. OFFICER DONOT REST IN PEACE. GO TO HELL
Please, have to heart to love human life. How do explain the murders that have been perpetrated by MMD in the last 20years they have been in govt?
No human has the right to play God
@ voice from luapula…you are an ***** how do you bring mmd and pf in this issue…stupiiiit *****.
Do we need to know the serial number of the pistol?
You clowns at LT you just copy and paste everything including serial no. of the firearm don’t you know that is police evidence which someone can trace the gun back to the source like a motor vehicle number plate as this is an OP officer!!
Nefishilingile, ati pf!Ya, just like the movement for mad demons, go to f@cking hell!
This is a tragedy. Let us ask God to comfort the families that are affected. I had a similar incident in my family last December 2010. I encourage people to talk about their problems. Nothing is worth murder or siucide. God help us.
suicide is never a solution .advice 2 sucidal pipo, pick yo sucide options wisely, at least choose quick and painless ones.
What is wrong about Mazabuka little town. It has all the bad experiences e.g Mwanachingwala is in Mazabuka, microbicide for HIv trials, ritualkillings, riots, Garry Nkombo and the list is endless
Oliya Chibale na mwetisize kwa mucacani and aMwanza just could not stomach it!
Awe chabipa mwe.
Uwa ngala ne futi,afwa kufuti.I have work in this are before and i have to have a heart with you work with a gun.In my days will lost a lot of young men,because of ifisomo from the other girl friends.Chisomo i chi
An officer in the office of the President in Mazabuka, Anxensio Mwanza, 46, this morning took his life and that of his wife in the early hours of today, – Ok if he took his life first, how was he able to kill his wife?
Well noted Princess Do these journalists learn how to write?
i smell an assassination covered up as a murder suicide
Incomplete stories/new items are so annoying. Half the time there is no follow-up. It would be nice 2 know the root cause… and in the office! On Monday morning? Hmm..
There is more to this story than what is being reported. Why kill the wife at work? Where was everybody when the first shot was fired. It looks like the guy did not take his life but somebody else killed him and his wife. He probably knew some thing about the ballot papers. Let an independent body investigate this case. We refuse to accept that it was a family dispute. Why didn`t they kill each at home? LT play some investigative journalism. Don`t just give us fake serial numbers.Â
Take guys away feom these officer otherwise they finish killing themselves. let them leave guns at work
THE SHOOTING OCCURED AT THE OFFICE.
totally agree with #14,CI case.what was the wife doing at work at 730?a third person was most likely involved,police need to invest in skilled forensic scientists.whatever happened,it is sad lives were lost.
I smell a rat.where’s FBI & Scotland Yard?
EVERYTHING IN ZAMBIA IS USELESS
Pistol number “blabala”, Car reg number blabla. House number: PLOT 99768564532456789.
What sort of addressing or reporting is this.
PLO number are not street numbers. Pleas councils learn this Plot number is a hidden number for identifying a land on some Govt maps and in documents. Humans need street number start 1 up to say 200. No wonder we can’t easily find things in Zambia.
Can we please reassign street number and gain normality “Plot number 99999” what the hell is this dressing?
Since when did shushushus start going to their offices with wives, I thot those premises were largely out of bounds from none shushushus. We can’t trust this Mwanza, he must have been a sell out, good riddance, but he should have spared the good life of the wife.Ubututu ba fyatile baku Chipata. Ngawaipeyefye weka watushilako ka gelo twaishiba ifyakuchita.
the man is a fooool.may his soul ramains in ntrnal hell after lo is a cousin to Rb
Too bad for both familles but they should be investigeted
The stupid woman followed the husband to the place of work and start embarassing(sp) him there, what do you expect. I devorced my wife because she had the same habit of following me to my office whenever we had a dispute at home. I fell sorry for the man
Cheating husband,did not sleep at home???Very sad indeed.
The OP requires psychological evaluation. They are so poorly led that they spend their time on women and chasing opposition parties in order to destroy our democracy.
What was happening at the office…why would the wife be at the office at 07:30hrs! Give us more information.
CSI Mazabuku have to answer simple questions on this case……..
1. What where the two love birds doing at 07:30 in the OP premises….to die for!!!
2. Why three shells found on the ground when only two shots where fired? (One in the wife’s neck and one in his Mouth)….unless he missed his mouth the first time or poor reporting as usual from LT!!
P.S
Who the
#25 Mwanza is a TONGA name,he is just practising whats to come if UPND wins elections mwafwa watch out ba kapala
Passion killing
Mazabuka has a very high suicide cases. Why?
# 13 katobo katobo – I agree with you 100% – I have also noticed that this town has something not so sweet about it – followed by Choma! Funny how bloggers always find a political and tribal angle to to everything. We need another study on effects of too much sugar on the human brain and guns!!
The Firing Squad for all thieves in Govt should be based in Mazabuka!! First they work the cane fields before facing the chipolopolo!!
I suspect it may have been adultery issues but the man should have just left his wife and moved on with life. us men have no heart to forgive and forget when it comes to catching the wife in adultery (God help us) but taking life is not the best remember that there is healing. Turn to God and not to the gun. My condolences
I THINK BENZE KUMUYAVYA KUTUNYAMATA……
There are surveillance cameras at OP Offices so let them show us what had happened other than saying that the man killed his wife.
