Police have arrested a male adult identified as Crispin Kawanga aged 32 of Lusaka’s Mtendere east in connection with the murder of his 16-year-old girlfriend identified as Getrude Lungu.
This followed a report of a missing person to Kalikiliki police post on Sunday 19th April 2020 by Simon Lungu, the father of the victim who reported that his daughter had gone missing on Sunday at about 12 00 hours.
Zambia Police spokesperson Ester Katongo said investigations were instituted which led to a Traditional doctor of Mtendere who later revealed that he attended to a client who was later identified as Crispin Kawanga who went to him seeking for help after he had killed someone.
Mrs. Katongo said Police apprehended Crispin Kawanga and upon interrogation, the suspect confessed to have murdered the victim and led the police to Salama Park where he dumped the body in a drainage after putting it in a sack.
She said in a statement that the body was found in a decomposed state hence Postmortem will be conducted on the scene.
Good work out men and women in uniform. This is what we need. Prompt action to quell all anxiety in the area. We ask everyone to remain calm and support our men and women in uniform. Our friends in diaspora we hope you are staying safe there because lockdown can have mental impact on people and lead to violent acts especially if you are of a different skin tone. Kz
32 year old man??? in a relationship with 16 year old girl? mmmmmmm aweh this is so disturbing and to make matters worse the idiot has murdered the little girl….uyu si muntu iyai….he must be an animal…hang him to death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Charge him with murder and tempering with a government trophie.
Chabeepa . Umuntu so sure ? Imwe napapa sana. Ba police my province thanks you for quick action.
Sad development. Let the law take its course.
Ni mutototo!! She must have died in the act due to too much pressure from the 32 year old. So out of CNP, he decides to dump the girl. He could have just contacted the Police, so that maybe murder could have been ruled out washalafye an child molestation!!
Firstly charge that fool with defilement, Secondly arrest the witchdoctor too for trying to conceal the crime because when that murderer went to him he should have reported that to the police.
I don’t comment on these things.
PITT: U’re human, that’s why u’re so touched. That makes two of us. But let me tell u this. We’ve a problem in Zambia, a very big problem. It’s so difficult even for decent families to raise decent kids. There are times whn I wonder if a documentary could be done on wht’s going on in our society. Maybe, just maybe, our politicians would stop stealing money and start spending it properly. Maybe we can start mending our society, bit by bit, brick by brick.
Act of inhuman,cage this youth. Lets wait for coments from people in the diaspora like ba tarino, here home its heatbreaking
That Witch doctor is an accomplice. He’s most likely the one who told him to bring a human product or part.
Resounding Sister D’s words :
Niwanji mwana mung’ono ? Vitendeni vigabenga ivo, napapata vitendeni
The witch doctor is a witness and must be commended. This chap approached the witch doctor to cleanse him. Unfortunately the police are still struggling to construct statements that are able to explain the situation as it was. Don’t forget that it’s only now that graduates have started joining the service. Before that most police officers were grade 7 dropouts. Kedric Zombe might have been the 1st to join the police with a degree
The witch-doctor what happened to doctor patient confidentiality? The police in Zambia are the most incompetent. It had to take a witch doctor. When a girl goes missing, the first suspects are parents followed by boyfriends. The people that will help with leads a friends to the missing person. Police in Zambia only pay attention to cases were they will receive a direct bribe.
Good work right there. Next time finish up the story by reviewing everything that the murderer said. it helps people not to have wild minds in trying to find what went down.
