The Western Province Police Commissioner further said that the body of the deceased is lying in Lewanika General Hospital mortuary awaiting postmortem and burial while Kayombo Liswaniso is on the run.
Shame,it was an accident but the way Zambian law is,the son is better off on the run.
Damn, Kayombo Liswaniso, running away, you can never run away from yourself brother man.
@UPND, Liswaniso is running away from villagers and PF cadres’ mob justice. Ba Katongo Kamwendo, to go and die all that far away from homeland, so sad mwee.
Dilema at its best.
I thought Lozi women were only dangerous in bed, I didn’t know they fight with knives.
Mwasilozi, too much buchuala! Have you heard of ‘ukunya ichilozi’?
Sorry I meant; “UKUNWA ICHILOZI”….
The bugger just stabbed the bloke. Apparently thats not strange among Lozis. Ni normal
Ubufi. You the reporter has already concluded the deceased was stabbed by accident as if you witnessed the act. This could be murder!
I didn’t know people even fight with knives in domestic settings, I thought that was gang-member style. My goodness! There was no love there.
….how can it be accidental when the accused is on the run…?
How young is this fugitive who had ‘balls’ to seperate the father and mother fighting? The deceased, father was 37.
