Two people have died after they fell in a shallow well in Mansa District, Luapula Province.
Mansa District Municipal Council Assistant Public Relations Manager Gladys Saili named the deceased as Samuel Mulewa 47 and Haggai Muleba 42 of Lukakula Village in Chief Kalasa Lukangaba’s Chiefdom.
Ms. Saili told ZANIS that the incident happened yesterday around 09: 00 hours.
Ms. Saili Mulewa and Muleba wanted to retrieve a hoe in the said well at a named house in Chitamba village when they met their fate.
Ms. Saili says Mulewa became unconsciousness in the well while trying to retrieve a hoe using a ladder and Muleba in the process of helping his friend also lost consciousness and they both fell and drowned.
The PR Manager added that the bodies of the two men were retrieved by the Fire Brigade unit and have been deposited to Mansa General Hospital Mortuary awaiting burial.
How about a heading like “2 men die after falling in well”
Could be that the two took their fight over a woman to the well …
How could they sink so low really? …
Lol
Oh dear, how tragic. The well must have been emitting poisonous gasses
That’s painful, dying while watching yourself…
Juliet Perth you are acting like a journalist. That is the way a trained journalist would write the headline. On the other hand the writer of this story wrote like a Grade 5 pupil learning composition
Ms. Saili says Mulewa became unconsciousness
..the price of ignorance. Looking for a hoe in a well, really
Imagine amano yaku mushi nayooooo
Sad.
Were there any witnesses to tell the story?
