  1. …..LT unlawful wounding ??????? This Penal code is invalid or maybe it’s your editor who needs help

    Anyway
    2021 vote PF ( Edgar)

    I thank you

    • It’s should have been better if this guy is charged with Murder and attempted murder…’Unlawful Wounding’ is not enough I guess.

      Anyway
      2021 vote PF (Edgar)

      I thank you

    • Lawful wounding occurs for example when nations have declared WAR against each other. Lawful wounding may also occur when a law enforcement officer inflicts injury in the course of his/her duty in order to protect the public.

  2. “unlawful wounding- contrary to section 232 of the Penal Code Cap 87 of the laws of Zambia” eh eh first time akosee each colour…

  3. UNLAWFUL WOUNDING ..sounds like the lady survived, ok if u de virgin someone is it unlawful wounding? Is their any lawful wounding?

    • @Anyoko
      Some of these Penal codes don’t make sense but I believe the “unlawful wounding” charge is for the wound he caused to his baby…..but don’t you think it should have been attempted murder? ….and again if you look at the crime he committed…I can easily count more than 12 counts…all very serious…..enough to lock him up for life

      Anyway
      2021 vote PF (Edgar)

      I thank you

  4. Unlawful wounding in this case is applying to his Daughter ie count2 And count 1 Murder of the Girlfriend/ex.Pazeed reading culture” bwafya”

  5. This is guy is hard hearted of all the things pulling a trigger against a defenseless woman. No matter what grave differences they had in their relationship he should have resorted to shooting to death his ex-girl friend and wounding the child. The govt. should deal firmly with this gun culture in our country if left unchecked I would not be surprised it will soon turn into mass murders like what happened in Neveda, USA.

  6. Too bad!! Any we hv to wait for the right time ad do the right thing. It is a sad story to hear. In Zambia too much, hearing same stories murder or what kuko tefintu
