    • Zambian men are useless. The majority of them are drunk womanizers who amount to nothing or end up like Kambwili. How can a country thrive with such losers for men! RIP sister. He didn’t deserve you.

    • ba nubian ati losers. yes we are losers. As for you what exactly happened to you. i know for a fact that you were abused. i just need to know exactly what he did to you. your tone seems to bespeak a person who was s.e.x.u.a.l.l.y abused. what happened my sister?

    • Shinka kaputo!!! Kaputo almost like kapyo…. … The guy sounds PF-ish.i won’t be surprised if he is one of kaizer Zulu ‘s foot soldiers

    • Only a dysfunctional Govt gives gun licenses to 30 year old boys.

      My old man was a general manager but failed to get a gun/firearm license. But today we have multi-choice call-centre boys being issued with licenses & killing at wives & small babies.

      PF is a MATUVI Govt.

    • @Mushota and @ Nudian princess, Domestic violence is not unique to Zambia or rather Zambian men, it’s even worse among your preferred race( watch forensic files on tv).
      Your bitterness with Zambian men could be due to your poor choices or irresponsible men in your family:
      Their are so many great men in Zambia, your own men let you down, spare us the insults.

    • Ati “nice lady”??? You’ve no idea what she did to the guy so don’t judge by the look of the face. A pretty face can also be a thorn in the flesh very easily. Let’s wait to hear the facts. Unfortunately the guy has wasted away his life for nothing.

    • MUSHOTA,

      you wrote

      “I hate all Zambian men. I wish nothing good for them”.
      Is that the reason you run out of the country?

      And what about your “best president ever”, Lungu?
      Is he not a Zambian, or not a man??

    • Govt/Parliament better wake up and do something about this GUN CULTURE before it takes hold in Zambia. If our Govt/Lawmakers can’t see what is going on with GUNS in the Country, it will be too late to control the scourge. We surely don’t want Zambia to be another U.S.A or S/Africa when it comes to guns. Cultures where even simple disputes or grievances are settled by guns.

      ANOTHER LIFE SENSELESSLY LOST BECAUSE OF A GUN. Whatever happened to just slapping someone when they upset you!

  1. What a shame. Whatever the dispute, killing your partner can never be a solution. Do we need stiffer gun control laws in Zambia? It seems there a lot of firearms in wrong hands.

  2. What a nice girl wasted by this fo0l!
    No matter how bad the difference is between couples,killing someone is never a solution.that is why its important to know God because a true believer can never do such a evil thing.he or she would leave the lover if things are not working out well.
    Zambia Police must quickly take that fo0l to mukobeko and let him rot there until death!!!
    REST IN PEACE PRETTY GIRL!!

    • Ba Njimbu do you know God I wonder? I have been following your posts and the hatred you have makes me wonder how you can even mention God. Anyway Zambia is full of Christian for Lungu not for God. i mean pretenders!

  3. This age between 25 – 40 whats happening kanshi…… now its the guys shooting the ladies. Ya so sad I dont know where we are going.

  4. Never own a gun if you are short tempered! Guns are not for the feeble minded! Those that carelessly live by guns will perish thereby!

  5. The police should come up with a deliberate policy of not allowing people to own guns. Guns for what? Let the police recall all the guns from who ever has them. A gun is for the Police, the Amy and those in the security wings. Why should individuals own guns? One will argue and say its for protection…..protection only comes from the most High God.

    • Ba Ndeloshafye naimwe. Police do not come up with policies or laws. Its Parliament that does what you are asking.

    • Ba NDELOLESHA FYE kwena mulasekesha you have cracked my ribs, you must be a comedian! you were supposed to have said ‘no civilians should own guns’

    • The solution is not banning gun ownership. It is in fact two-fold if you think of it:
      1. Every one must be gun-literate. They must know how a gun works and how to use one. Otherwise, they will remain vulnerable to guns; and
      2. People must be free to own guns if they can afford. That way they can better protect themselves under attack.
      Bring back the compulsory Zambia National Service.

    • They are getting guns from some of these fake prophets. There’s a fake prophet in Kitwe who goes to Namibia to buy guns and resale in Zambia.

  6. So SAD!! We are INDEED BECOMING A VIOLENT COUNTRY!! Even issues that can be discussed are now being resolved or worsened by blood shed!! So SAD INDEED, young life lost, just like that!!

  7. WHERE HAVE THE GUNS COME FROM. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANY PLACE IN ZAMBIA WHERE CIVILIANS ARE TAUGHT HOW TO FIRE GUNS. IS THERE A CIVILIAN GUN RANGE IN ZAMBIA? hOW DO THESE PEOPLE GET THESE GUNS?

    • There are several gun ranges in Zambia open to civilians. Lusaka alone has about 5 of them that I know. Livingstone has 2 that I know. Guns are not for the weak. Guns are for sober minded people with a very good temperament. Guns are not toys. Guns are for crime prevention and protection. Guns are supposed to be concealed all the time and no one should know that you are carrying one. In Zambia of late I have seen people showing off guns as if its a cellphone. Mature people with guns do not show off and are calm all the time. All of you with guns please exercise control and use your guns for protection and prevention of crime, not killing each other…..pleeeeease Zambia pllleeeease

  8. # 7 banning people owning guns is not the solution, its only yesterday when it was reported that a woman killed her husband with a bottle after a domestic quarrel. should police ban keeping bottles in homes? Only a few month ago a man was killed by the girl-friend using a knife. Will police manage banning all these?

  9. Dora Siliya should also be very careful, that Kasai mutenya-mate of hers will soon shoot her in the neck with a skumisa!

  10. What a beautiful and stunning rose flower plucked by a ruffian. She deserved to continue blossoming. Can only wish her soul to rest in peace.

  11. How to win an argument with your lady: Walk away from the argument. Go chill elsewhere.

    Head for a strip-teasing club where you have one near you and cool off your seething temper with the sight of pole dancers.

    If you stay to try to punch back word for word you gonna end up heading for your pistol and ruin it all.

    • You are right – never pick a quarrel with a woman – be it wife or girlfriend. These females can strip you naked with insults and you would think the only solution is to go physical – NO!
      Take care life is sweet. There is always the next better bus. Always the next better girlfriend – kwasila!

  12. Mrs Katongo said the victim went to the accused person’s residence to pick her daughter aged two years seven months who was at her father’s residence in Mean wood. Comprehension: What is this sentence trying to communicate?????????

  13. The guy is my friend, and let alone a few houses from my place. Heard the gunshots when i just got home, but had no idea it was him shooting. I was even with him on Monday. I can’t say much for because i have had no chance of getting from him exactly what led him to act in such a manner.

    Rest in Peace Madam and sad development for the kid coz this is as good as loosing both parents

    • Saw your mates pics pa whatsapp.. He looks like those difficult type of guys.. Bovikosha baja where a small kiss in traffic (no visible dent on the car) that can be settled with a handshake eve ni mpaka mwami abwele.. Confirm..

    • Did you know her and how she related to your friend. oh just What a friend we have in an i.diot!
      He should just hung before he kills more nice ones like Precious!

  14. Ndanje khakis – kikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikik yabaaaaa. Why do you tontonkaya like this? ( Why do you think like this?) I never meant to laugh but I’m forced to. Ma guys aba awe mweee.

  15. The next man who l believe can do this act is kaiser Zulu the henchmen to Edgar chagwa Lungu! The guy is notorious even though the PF police have kept a deaf eye. Stephen kampyongo and the likes of Bowman Lusambo might also have the muscle to do this act if things go the way the police are tolerating the PF cadres.

    • Kaiserslautern Zulu already shot dead a number of Zambians but is defended by president Edgar Lungu waiting for evidence.

  16. Clearly her last social media listing must have been a rant at the psycho that killed her and nearly killed their baby.

    We want these types of savages hung. This type of illogical and violent crime happens frequently in poor countries where the Male often compensates for the harshness of life in poor countries by being overly Macho. The rare murderess kills because they become desperate or are on smuck and alcohol.

    We pray her and her family. May she rest in peace. WATCH OUT GIRLS.

  17. Violent Zamerica becoming just like these cold hearted shores where they slaughter human beings by the dozens.

  18. This killer f.ool is a real i.diot. Just where does one get courage to kill such a pretty young lady and at only 26. Look at her mabelo – nice. He should just have left her for those of us who care.
    Yes she was right to say: “I honestly think Moody People are Retarded! Literally Psychopaths!”. I am sure she was referring to her potential killer. Very sad indeed.
    MHSRIP.

    • Unfortunately she went out with a psycho until she had a kid with him… and eventually got killed. There is something fundamentally wrong with most kids these days. They don’t seem to think through things before they act. Even having children before marriage is made to look like its normal. They just do it and think later. Too bad it can be too late at times. Sorry Sam!

  19. Lessons learnt from this calamity is that, never Facebook your difference with your partner. Its like asking the whole world to team-up with you to fight your partner. When he retaliates he will shock all those involved! Manage your differences with your partners in manner that you help each other in your different directions you go.

  20. Never mind the name of the suspect, I think he must be a UP.NDonkey. Who else can be a psychopath but a Donkey? You can see a similar kind of reasoning and behaviour in some people as the poor victim wrote in her last Facebook post: “I honestly think Moody People are Retarded! Literally Psychopaths!Y’all just wake up Angry at the world Like who Upset you?” U5 may not be a murderer but his anger is certainly psychopathic!

  21. …..no possibility of dialogue with such people, you hear me Patricia Scotland?
    The tragedy is that U5 even thinks that psychopath is the same as courageous, therefore the majority of Zambians are cowards because they are not psychopaths but normal people.
    Reasoning of UP.NDonkeys and their chiefs, they dont see anything wrong with their U5!

  22. Lets politicise this like this: Moodness is an emotion which in most cases the victim struggles to control. A Retarded person is simply a slow learner. psychopath sounds a bombastic word to me, meaning the writer could be more schooled than me. If one is more schooled, they must be able to handle people who are moody, retarded and am sure even PSYCHOPATHS with ease! A problem identified is half solved.

    • Keen Follower
      Dont betray where you lye.You appear to believe that this 26 year old apparently reasonable girl[check her face book page,the moron has since pulled down his page,have you noticed?] was reasponsible for this moron’s act?Am very dissapointed with you.The man was 34 obviously literate,not only shot the mother to the daughter but even the daughter …..while!If you are related to the moron and you appear to have known his weaknesses you should have sought help for him yourself not unleashing him to the public and expecting the innocent lady to have the temperentment,calmness or whatever you think she should have done to avoid the demented 1diot from killing her.

  23. @mailon
    Judging from the pictures, not my opinion, these are a beautiful girl and a handsome boy/man. I dont know the man and I didnt know the girl, am independent and my sentiments go to we others who would find ourselves in similar situations, that, we attempt to avoid the worst as in this case. There can be no way in which I can try to tease the dead (who is not there) nor the gentleman, who is actually dispirited by the very case at hand. Am simply part of the mourners and the comforters!

  24. At the end of the day, we all end up with what we deserve no matter how good or bad! Always make efficient choices.

  25. Polite advise to ladies. If you so called man is violent please leave him alone. He may just be your killer you are doing.

  26. the guy was u.pnd. how can he use mampatizya formula on a cute soul. Probably he could have head that she joined the winning team. These u.pnd cadres seem to like mukobeko like hh.

  27. U dont say u hurt zambian men . U are totally wrong and evil my sister and yet u call urself a Christian who should love the enemy. Remember some men u hurt is Edger lunga as u put it and Zambian.some men are darling husband of other deserving women. So,avoid making sweeping statements.

  28. Mushota and Nubian Princess,it is out of ignorance and foolishness that you make a sweeping statement against Zambian men based on one person’s act.I wonder whether you have male relatives.Be mature in your utterances as violence is not unique to race or gender.

  29. “If I can’t have you, then no one will.” mentality.
    Let us keep talking to stop this circle of violence in Zambian relationships.
    Poor POLICE gun management. Kanganja OUT now. New tough gun laws IN. Parliament ACT.
    Marriage therapists, counselors, church elders and parents TALK on issue on every media.
    MHSRIP.

  30. The man is a “very huge coward” how can he use the gun on the lady sure (no matter how aggrieved) worse still on an innocent child. thats INHUMAN total madness…he is naturally disqualified to live among human beings…

  31. It’s not bad to own a gun as long the owner does not have ill motives on the use and should not carelessly keep it.

  32. One elderly man gave me some advice which I cant forget up to now. If you own a gun you attract guns. If you use abusive language…the power of the tongue, you attract abuse even to death. The seed you sow with your tongue may land in a pot brewing death. Be careful what comes out of the month. Stop talking about guns, they will follow you.

  33. From the surname She is neither NOT ZAMBIAN nor a Tonga and UPND SUPPORTER whilst the boy Chiputa is PF so how can one put GBM and Mumbi phiri together? MUMBI HAS TO BEND TO ACCESS THE ITEMS AND cannever see the face for GBM how excited he could be at peak level. I WISH I KNEW COULD HAVE SNATCHED THIS GIRL THOUGH SHE WAS SECOND HAND WITH A KID WAMUCHIGOLOLO butnow too late. wish baby quick recovery MHSRIP
