A Couple in Chief Chamuka’s chiefdom in Chibombo district committed suicide after a domestic quarrel over K10,000.
Both Central Province Police Commissioner Standwell Lungu and Chief Chamuka of the Lenje speaking people confirmed the incident.Mr Lungu said the two had a quarrel over a K10,000 which the husband borrowed from his wife and was not paid back.Chief Chamuka named the deceased couple as Damiano Dana and Betty Dana both of Chileka village in Chibombo district.
The chief who sent his delegation to establish the cause of death of the two villagers from the village where the scene happened said the couple had a quarrel after which Betty the wife consumed a poisonous pesticide portion in protest over none payment of her money and died while the husband looked on.
“The husband decided to take his life upon seeing that his wife had died and he (Mr Dana) too, also consumed the same portion the wife took and died,” the chief said.
Chief Chamuka said the couple’s bodies were buried in the same village yesterday.The traditional leader described the incident as unfortunate as family members decided to bury the bodies without seeking post mortem at the health institution.
A few months ago a thirteen year old girl was beaten to death in the same district over a biscuit she had eaten without permission.
Ofcourse there is more to this story than what we are reading here
LT get more information before reporting unworthy news
but then again you are feeding to the unwashed masses so they are bound to accept it, this is why Nick laughs at our country
Thanks
:d:d:d
Romeo and Julillet how romantic
Very sad. …. speaks volumes about poverty in Zambia. This is really heart wrenching that a couple can die over a K10,000…. very, very sad indeed.
Like a Romeo and Juliette story….interesting.MTSRIP
Then when Mushota comments you condemn her. There is no way this can happen in Glasgow. why kill yourself when you can simply beg for British Pounds from Mushota?? malabishi
how can people play with life like that, over 2USD??? there is poverty in zambia. how can i go back to such a country.
You have posed a very good question, How?
That’s about the price of a loaf of bread here in the UK.
You hopeless individualistic fellows, is this what living in the west has done to you??? all you care about is yourselves, you are slowly becoming like your hosts…you are supposed to be asking yourselves, what can i do to stop this from happening again, what can i do to educate my own…instead you are asking yourselves what Zambia can do for you…my goodness, a child beaten2death for a biscuit, ten pin a couple kills themselves, these are serious levels of poverty and uneducation, the little you can do will make a change, even for one person…how can i go back to a country like this??? bloody nonsense, remain there and clean all their toilets, lets see if they will consider you as British when you are 79 years old…you will locked up in a small room left for death…pathetic…
#5 and #5.1 you are useless wanabes. Busy quoting “googled” prices yet you live in John Laing and Kwa Kamanga. You will never match Mushota. i doubt if u even have ACA, Cima etc. you losers
spot on, they are pathetic as hell…
Mushota, I want to marry you
How romantic. They must have read Romeo and Juliet
What about a post-mortem, was is conducted to establish the cause of death, and to make sure there was no foul play?
iwe, read the article…
Very very sad. MTSRIP. Although something is fishy here! Didn’t hubby kill the wife before taking his own life? Were there witnesses? Either way he is not here anymore to be investigated but would be good to find out the truth of what happened.
ITS VERY SAD INDEED FOR A COUPLE TO DIE OVER 2 USD BUT SOMETIMES ITS ANGER THAT SOMETIMES MAKES A PERSON TO TAKE SUCH DRASTIC ACTION.ONE SHOULD ALWAYS LEARN TO CONTROL THEIR TEMPARE WHEN HAVING ARGUMENTS.
Mushota uli malabishi; how does your so-called loved one laugh at your country in the face of such a tragedy? You must be a desperate slave girl. Anyhow, you’re devoid of good looks so perhaps there’s nothing you can do, lol!
Sometimes LT has no news
Imwe bantu ija district i think pali vuto ikulu , people are strange there.
If it was me I would say “…. wife, tell Satan AREN’T coming”
The Wife was really a difficulty one. How can she punish husband in such a way? It is not the question of money, it is all about how some women are BITTER. She might have had even more money, that’s why husband didn’t bother to pay back.
i agree with you, i dont think this was just about money. maybe it involved some other issues that we’re not being told, u see when people are not happy with each other even a smallest thing can spark a huge fight resulting in death. she killed herself not for ten pin but due to other things that were there even b4 the ten pin issue.
but who witnessed the woman and man drinking poison? sometimes the reporting pa zambia awe sure mwe
This is no news,maybe ifyabukaya or ilyashi llyapano isonde with george mubanga in those days.
IN CASE PEOPLE IN UK DINT KNOW THAT IS ALSO ABOUT THE PRICE OF BREAD!!! FOR THE PEOPLE WHO THINK ZAMBIA WILL NOT DEVELOPMENT THINK AGAIN!!!! WE WILL DEVELOP WITH OR WITH OUT PEOPLE LIVING ABROAD!!! BESIDES PEOPLE LIVING WITHIN ZAMBIA CONTRIBUTE MORE AND NOW ZAMBIA IS AMONGST THE FASTEST GROWING ECONOMIES IN AFRICA!!!!! LETS CONTINUE WORKING OUR ASSES OFF FOR MOTHER ZAMBIA
Mushota you keep putting Zambia down to impress that honky who is shagging you. Pray tell,where were you born and raised? Definitely not your Scotland.If you despise Zambia so much why nor renounce your citizenship, then you can become stateless as you dont even have an EU passport.
one can assume there was a witness to all this.
Continue washing napies in UK and leave us alone kekekekeke !
did they lose interest in sex?
