A 30 year caretaker of Kashaita Village of Chief Mukungule’s Chiefdom in Mpika District of Muchinga Province has committed suicide three days after allegedly murdering his wife and his employer’s wife.
Muchinga Province Deputy Police Commanding Officer Lucky Munkondya who confirmed the incident in an interview named the caretaker as Morris Mwansa, who she said took his life by hanging himself in his in-laws’ house at Kashaita Village between mid-morning and this afternoon.
“ The deceased has been on the run after allegedly murdering his wife Memory Bwalya ,31, of the same village and Catherine Ngoma, 45 , of Farmers Training College (FTC) Compound, “ she said.
ZANIS reports that Ms Mukondya in an interview that on 8th March, the deceased allegedly killed his wife Memory Bwalya with an axe thereby causing sever bodily injuries.
He later on proceeded to allegedly murder his employer’s wife Catherine Ngoma with an axe leaving deep bodily cuts, too.
Facts of the case are that the employer and owner of the farm, Kenny Shakalima, 51, of FTC expressed his concerns with his now deceased employee’s work culture.
The Deputy Commander narrated that at one time Mr. Shakalima visited the farm and found his caretaker, now the deceased, in a drunken stupor which made him upset and impulsively told him (Morris Mwansa ) that his services where no longer needed at the farm.
“ This news did not sit well with the care taker who later narrated everything to his wife which resulted in a heated argument and he later left the house to go and drink alcohol, “ she said.
Upon returning from a drinking spree, the deceased met his wife and axed her to death at his matrimonial homer after which he proceeded to axe his employer’s wife Catherine Ngoma who was busy at the crop field at the time.
The Deputy Commanding Officer said it is unfortunate that just when police were closing up on the suspect of the two murder cases, he has taken his life.
Police said bodies of the two murdered women were after postmortem buried this morning while the suspect’s body has been deposited into Mpika Urban clinic mortuary awaiting postmortem extermination and burial.
Tough times during UPND and these are the results…meanwhile demagogue President HH is enjoying….ZAMBIANS ARE SUFFERING
This is not news under UPND Bandits government
This needs to be checked. Sweeping it under the mat will not make it go away.
THIS IS A HANG OVER FROM PF DAYS
LT THERE IS OTHER MORE IMPORTANT NEWS BOTH IN AND OUT OF ZAMBIA
WAKE UP
Taking him to the mortuary is waste of electricity and cleaning materials. Just slice the guy and give dogs. My apology.
BLAME PF FOR THE SUFFERING
THEIR MISMANAGEMENT OVER THE 10 YEARS CAUSED MEGA DAMAGE
UPND GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO RECTIFY ALL THEIR ILLS AND MISAPPROIATION OF FUNDS
ITS NOT DONE OVER NIGHT
Saulosi I wouldn’t have said it any better myself. You are spot on. High cost of living and an ineffective president is what has led to increase in suicides and deaths.
Rip
USELESS COMMENTS
NO PF PUPPET WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBITY THE THE MESS WE HAVE TO RECTIFY
RIP PF
From HH himself to every former and current government official, let us agree that we hv a crisis in our country. The colonial government had the district commissioner in every locality who gave the state presence and power of coercion. This ensured order and respect for the law. Because of too much disorder, the Zambian state is failing to enforce its authority starting from the capital city itself.
Rule of thumb is if you as an employer are going to fire someone who is drunk on the job…send them home and do it when they are sober!!
Mbuzi Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee culture of laziness and stealing from PF regime supported by criminal and bitter pf cadres
Saulosi – Its utterly shameful that you have reduced your level into cesspool of the UK based impostor where you are now trolling even on serious articles like this. Anyway you are showing your true creditials
These men are cowards! You murder someone and then commit suicide! Stop being sissies!
