The gurad hanged himself in MISISI compound also? MTSRIP , WHEN HH was behind bars NO SUCH Devilish acts were happening in our beloved COUNTRY, MAY BE WE REVISIT KA NOLLE PROSEQUE.
Agree.
You are an ***** with your ka
You are mad!!
What’s wrong with Misisi? A mans is killed wit a knife at 02:00 hrs and a guard hangs himself at 03:00 hrs in the same komboni, shame. Pobooooh!
Solola Bye!
She didn’t commit murder. She killed him in self defense. Too many women have died at the hands of evil men. This is man slaughter. If I lost two teeth in an unequal fight, and a knife was nearby, I would use too. May the soul of the departed wife batterer rest in peace.
@MwambaJJ
I do also believe she acted in self-defence, though not justifiable. But then how do you fight your wife with bare fists? A woman you love? We all have differences with our wives but not to the extent of engaging them in a slugfest.
Self defense when you stab someone in the back?
@Mwambajj you have a very valid point there- too many women are dying at the hands of men these days. Chances are it was indeed self defence.
To much drinking and prostitution in this country leads to actions like this……sad but true.
I can’t agree more the woman was no match.she had no choice use anything to defend herself. I hope they won’t use a conman lungu’s court to prosecute her.
Human life is sacred; but all murderers of their loved ones with knives should be killed through a public firing squad or be given live imprisonment; because PF has no respect for life; everyone now does not care about shedding blood;
murderers with guns and other cruel means should face the same fate
Why was the couple fighting? Did the man find his wife committing adultery?
Lusaka is full of demons: Pastors where are you?
Pastors are the Demons…..
Why do people find it difficult to go separate ways rather than resorting to physical confrontation?
Nabo ba LT ati one roomed house…. does it matter sure just say the story. Very sad indeed why are these things happening. Ama cell phone aya eyaletele akantu.
Self defense and yet the man was stabbed in the back? Unless you tell me he had turned away from her to give her a round kick, your argument about self defense is flawed. Why do we always have to justify a man’s death when a woman is at fault? That woman that ran over her husband, Reeve Malambo … the list is endless. Women are killing men and we just have to accept that murder is not the preserve of men. Let her rot in prison.
The following are the causers of marital disputes in our today’s marriages:
1. Side chicks
2. Alcohol
3. Prostitution
If these things were to be reduced, believe me couples can be happy once again.
