A MOB in Mkushi District beat to death a 45-year-old farm worker who was found defiling a four-year-old girl on Saturday.The mob descended on the man, identified as Henry Katunga, who was found defiling the girl in her parents’ house.Passersby heard a girl screaming for help and mobilised themselves before forcing themselves in the house where they found the man in the act.
Central Province police chief Standwell Lungu explained that the girl was left in the custody of the man by his employers.Mr Lungu said the farm worker took advantage of the absence of the girl’s parents and lured her into the house.The mob beat him to death, but no one has been arrested for the murder.
He, however, cautioned members of the public against taking law into their hands adding that the man should have been handed over to the police.
Meanwhile, two Kitwe-based men have been apprehended in Mansa for being in possession of machinery, chemicals and paper used in printing fake Zambian currency and United States of America (US) dollars.Alert police officers in Mansa pounced on the two after a tip off from members of the public.
Luapula Province police chief Philemon Mutale identified the suspects as Silungwe Sichone, 20, of Chimwemwe Township and Musonda Musaka, 21, of Bulangililo.Police have also impounded a Toyota Splinter registration number AGR 9871 the two were using.Mr Mutale said police have summoned the owner of the vehicle to assist with investigations.Among items recovered from the two were four bottles of iodine , four by 2050 size paper of Zambia Kwacha, one by 2500 size paper of American dollars, five bottles of vitamin solutions, two syringes, two needles, cotton wool and two rolls of aluminium paper.
[Times of Zambia]
good, defilement cases are on the rise. Women movements are sleeping, govt shows no concern, ni instant justice chabe. serves him right
muchinga and northerners in possession of macinery to print fake money. thes bembas are really criminals.
You seem to envy bemba’s!
I think so, he is so envious of the Bembas, at the same time so inferior to them.
Am sure a bemba once shagged your madam.No wonder the hate.
Tribalism never helped anybody
It seems Zambia has joined South Africa as child rape and murder capital of the world, in-spite of christian nation status. Some thing has gone seriously wrong with our moral consciousness.
I hate mob justice but i bet in this case it served the defiler right.I remember growing up in a community where beating and burning up thieves alive was almost an everyday thing.
Really ? And where is that ?
Serves him right, i totally agree with the mob on this one.
Some people killed my Mob justice are innocent people…….you never know if really the person was defiling the young girl……this things happen and when you kill you will never know the truth
I thought the story says he was caught in the act, what does that mean to you!???
I do not support mob/instant justice either, but in the future you should try to read the entire story before commenting, wamvela!?
No one should be arrested for this mob justice! Bravo ba police.
Shame… But Toyota Splinter, really???
a muchingan spelling.
Well done Mkushi pipo.
Bushe ubwamba bwachi shikulu bantu kuti bwa kwana pa mwana aaii, ine i cant comprehend this rubbi$h…
We have lost a life here
Terrible, should have spared the man, not saying what he did was right
Thanks
well as a mother -i think the punishment for sex offenders in Zambia is not punitive enough..and some actually get away with it-im glad the little girl screamed-and im glad the people were decent enough to kill him!but then the more christian thing would be to let the law take its course ..but our laws are messed up so..
Very good to the alert pipo, these *****s are released after bribing ba Zabwino Palibe. Instant justice…gooood!
Please kill my boss too, he is defiling me with workload when I have under 4 years work experience!!!!
hahahaha…uliko bad man.
Yaba, mob injustice ka. Please people dont kill like that, let the law take its course, you never know that person may change while in prison. Let us leave death to God alone. Naimwe mwe fibaume why abusing children? Shame on you all. Atese.
Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.
I got a four year old daughter….. eeeish! Maybe I would’ve started paying each member of that mob if it were MY daughter…
Can that mob come to Lusaka too and lynch some pastors
@Mushota, #11, what life are you talking about here??? Everyone is pleased with the work the mob did because that guy does not deserve to leave. Imagine if it was your bastard child raped??? Or yourself for that matter?
I feel bad for the child and the parents. May the Soul of that Rapist rest in eternal fire, HELL!!!!! and Mob bravo!!!
ACTION TIME
I dont agree with every1 who is supporting this bad act of killing as TWATWE said we have no evindence hear what if the story is just fabricated after they killed a man? wat if its the mob that raped the girl? we have no proof so in whatsoever casesi dont support killing a person those who killed him they will be killed too..
arrest those who killed a man i hope its 4 yrs not 14yrs coz 14yrs girls are big girls now

Mob justice, congrats so that even the other perpetrators should learn a lesson. This is pathetic and inhuman. What has gotten into some men’s brain? mwabombeni bane. mwakulapwa just like this if you dont know.
Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Everyone saying there is no evidence, you must be defilers. Always believe your children. Its about time these crazy people started being killed. If killing takes too much time, simply hold him down and take a knife. When that thing is chopped he will learn his lesson.
FOR GOD’S SAKE HOW CAN A PERSON IN HIS RIGHT FRAME OF MIND DEFILE A CHILD- HIS OWN CHILD SO TO SAY? IT IS SICKENING TO READ ABOUT MEN WHO DO SUCH THINGS. A 4 YEAR OLD? FOR WHAT? IT’S A SHAME, REALLY.
this is nonsense.Mob justice should be condemed at all cost.Are you telling me that a difiller can be that dull to be caught paints down with all that noise caused by the so called passerby.The fact that the parents left a 4 yeras old killed with the man simply showa that the man was a good man. Police do not just warn the culprits but charge them with mad.May the soul of the innocent man (innocent untill proved guilty ) rest in ertanal peace.
i meant Kid.
Just correct everything, all your comment is puffed with mistakes. Whatever you mean, just write all.
What is a Toyota Splinter?
@29, Bantu botatwe:
Maybe it is a Bantu botatwe type of an ox cart (just kidding)! Hahahahaha, Bemba English coming through here (no “r” in our ichibemba)—yes, I love ama Zambians!!
BARBARIANS AT WORK………
Shame they have shared all his sins….. i hope there were no Christians who participated in the killing
MWEBA MUTENDE!!!
