    • What charges will be brought against the woman? Which section of the penal code allows for charging the trophy in the middle?

    • Which part of the story says the woman was cheating?? There is too much of this cultural judgement imposed on Women. Really Annoying thought you did “comprehension” in Primary 🙁

  1. Their is no case here, the man is 33 and lady 32 ONLY one yr difference , the Pennis code is very clear that one year age gap never call urselves fiancee better say helping each other, i imagine how a woman can stab me ehhhh..ndipo ninga muchinde mpaka kuivimbisha

  2. Lombe, one of these men should have walked off. There is no need to lose life over another person. It is also a bad idea to show up at another person’s house without being invited. One of these men was pushing his luck. MHSRIP!

  5. @9, reading between the lines, you are lobbying for extra company for U5?
    The murderer is welcome to join, after all murder and treason are both capital offences carrying the same penalty: death by hanging.
    Remember there is no lethal injection in Zambia, just simple hanging until pronounced dead. It can be painful I imagine if the criminal does not die quickly.
