Share

Five instance mob justice members arrested during gassing incidences have been committed to the high court by Luwingu district magistrate court.

The five were arrested in connection with the murder of Aaron Mutale of cope village in chief Chipalo area of Luwingu district of Northern Province.

The deceased Aaron was allegedly dragged out of his mother’s house and burnt to death by an instant mob justice at Chola Mutanto market in full view of his mother.

After the matter was brought before Luwingu magistrate Kenny Nkundwe on Friday last week, the director of public prosecution instructed that the matter be referred to the high for the commencement of trial.

Appearing before magistrate Nkundwe were Maxwell Mwape 52, Gertrude Kumwenda 56, William Chanda 37, Memory Mulenga 25 and Stevenia Chate 34 all of cope village.

It is alleged that on 20th February 2020, the five jointly and whilst acting together with others unknown did murder Aaron Mutale whom they accused of gassing some residents in the village.

The five are facing one count of murder contrary to section 200 of the penal code chapter 87 of the laws of Zambia.

The suspects have since being taken to milima correction prison in Kasama in readiness of the court proceedings.

Recently, the country underwent a spate of gassing incidences where a number of innocent lives and property got lost and so far a number of gassing suspects having been arrested and appeared in court, as a result.

  1. But where are the gassers? When will the gassers appear in Court? It was hinted that they were going to arrest the Freemason, we’re waiting. People started killing suspects because they accused the Police of shielding them. What happened to the 2 senior police officers that were found with gasses in their office in Chingola? Mufisanji ba mambala?

  3. Lungu and PF , you will not fool us with Court cases dealing with the results of your gassing , we need to know why you were gassing our people in the first place

  4. “Alledged gassing” incidents as up to date non have been lab confirmed.

    Those who killed innocent people on mere hysteria as well as criminal intent that was circulated by uncaring people must face very stiff punishment.

    This was probably the saddest chapter in Zambia’s history. It pained me so much to see innocent people getting killed on false accusations and in such a horrific manner.

  5. Spaka welcome to the new Zambia where the rule of law is followed and humans are treated innocent until proven guilty. This is not the same zambia you left under unip when you decided to run away to UK. If you remain patient and wait for the court to rule on the matter, you might inform yourself rather than continue living in ignorance perpetrated by your political biasness.you are very embarrassing for some one who is meant to be abroad and enlightened.

    No amount of procrastinating of dunnunaring by you will hide PF culpability in the gassing of our people ……

    We all know about the first part of your scheme was the weapons and $1.6 million foreign funding you tried to pin on Hh , only to enter a nollie after your gassing scheme backfired.

    You are only dealing with PF cader violence because given Lubinda was clobbered by the beast that is PF cader violence that you have harnessed and used to brutalise opposition.

    FYI I have was in Zambia when you thugs took power and have been many times since

  7. I can also safely say the new Zambia where the rule of law is followed that KZ refers to is also due to the realisation by PF that the fall out from the Foote saga is more serious than they bargained for.

    The PF needs western help and have realised the west will not turn a blind eye to their cader driven violent intimidation and brutality of opposition while claiming to be democratic

    After ambassador Foote , PF and lungu are on notice…..

  8. Zambians should not forget that before COVID 19, our kwacha became a sweet sixteen, fuel prices hit double digits yet during campaigns we were promised K5 per litre fuel, we should not forget the promised goat export to Saudi Arabia project, mealie meal hit K200, the list goes on just in case people forget.

  10. So far we are seeing those who were involved in mob injustice killings being arrested and taken to court which is a good thing. But we have not heard of any perceived Gassers being taken to court for trial. All we hear are that investigations are going on what is happening. Unless i am mistaken and i stand to be corrected there has been no conviction yet of any person who was involved in this vise even the master minders of the same. John Mwansa sang a song ‘Imisango Yaba Chaimani”. He goes on to say that in a particular section the witch goes about terrorizing residents in their sleep at night. Investigations to fight the one responsible yields nothing. Further and dipper investigations later on come to reveal that the very chaimani or Chairman was responsible for the evil acts…

  11. Spiderly what fight is this ? This is news to me .I am a gentleman, I dont fight or indulge in violence unless it is to protect my children and wife or close family. I have invited spaka to meet me so that we sit down have a stiff drink of whiskey and discuss national issues. Rather than box each other we might decide to watch some of Mike Tyson’s old fights while sipping and eating on his some biltong. This is the guy kz is. Get to know me

  12. Meanwhile the Gassers are safely stuck inside their homes enjoying the handsome payoff as they are untouchable by Police.

    I don’t use violence but intellect and hope to educate KZ about the tenants of above board politics, integrity and morals in leadership, come June.

    Hopefully he will be rehabilitated

    Who and what is HH?

    My people gave Hurry Mwaanga Nkumbula of ANC 100% of the vote in Mufulira in 1968 but he still lost.

    HH is dead HORSE>

    • Kill them with kindness.

      Chiluba from luapula was given the highest 100% votes in southern province and he won.

  15. Luapula Premier 

    ” @spaka

    Who and what is HH?…..”

    Just wait for posts from PF media person Sunday chanda and blogs from KZ on LT………you will know who HH is…..

  16. @ Spaka, i am sure there will be no spate of Violence if we televise the meet and discussion, i take it you are up for that then?
    Kz, do you agree to sit, dialogoue and not resolt to fighting? We can stream this live.
    Remember, it it through dialogue that we progress, unsure why some cadres had to force the closure of debates on Bill 10.

  17. Spiderly Existence 

    Absolutly ……..I would love to share a podium with kaizer and maybe show his human side in discussing problems Zambia is facing….

  18. You chaps ran away abroad. What discussion can you do with me ? You are stuck there because you cannot travel now with travel.bans. so if your relative dies kuno there’s nothing you can do. And yet you want to come here and say dialogue with me face to face. I have been interviewed by the tough costa. What can you boys tell me ?

  19. Kaizer, Malawi doesn’t qualify as abroad, and I never siad interview, I said a discussion, simply talking about issues the way we have been doing here. Just a discussion.
