The bodies of Jane Munamonga and the baby were discovered this morning, while her husband, Emmanuel Munamonga , was found unconscious.
The bodies of the deceased have been picked by Police, while Mr Munamonga had been taken to hospital.
Meanwhile, a Safety expert has cautioned members of the public to avoid leaving burning braziers in their homes especially in the night as it poses a risk to their health.
Mark Kunda says people should put on layer clothes to keep warm this winter season instead of using braziers to keep themselves warm.
Mr. KUNDA has also called on employers to ensure they provide winter clothing’s for their employees because the cold season brings health concerns.

LCC Public Relations Manager Mwaka Nakweti has also disclosed that the Local Authority is in the process of constructing three additional fire stations in Chelston, Chilenje, and Makeni.
