He said police suspect no foul play as his body had no physical
injuries adding that the man had poor eye sight, which might have led

Abena Chipata have advanced in robbery tactics! Bambuya nasheniko
Kitwe robberies and unprecedented house break-ins should be made public so that those not yet attacked could take precautionary measures.It would information of massive crime on the kopala is being deliberately surpressed.
Meant to say ,it would appear information on massive etc.
If you are going to carry a pistol, surely you would use it to defend yourself. Instead, it is stolen with the cash. WTF!
Staged!
Someone falls into a ditch and dies but has no physucal marks or injuries? Strange.
