A 33-year-old woman of Mikomfwa township in Luanshya district has allegedly been stabbed to death by her husband following a marital dispute.
Idah Mkandawire, of house number 391 Muzabwela Street, died after she was stabbed in the stomach by her husband, Size Museteka, who is currently on the run.
Copperbelt Province Police Commissioner, Peacewell Mweemba, confirmed the incident that occurred on 3rd September around 02:45 hours.
Mr Mweemba said the matter was reported to the police by the deceased’s landlord.
He explained that on the material day, the landlord was awakened by the deceased who was knocking on the window of the landlord’s house.
When he opened the door, he noticed blood on the deceased’s stomach, who informed him that she had been stabbed by her husband using a knife.
The Copperbelt Province Police Chief said the victim was rushed to Thompson district hospital where she was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Mr Mweemba added that police visited the crime scene and recovered a knife alleged to have been used in the act.
He said police have since launched a manhunt for the suspect.
If she was luvale, he might have a good case for self defence. I had a bad experience with a luvale woman who I gladly divorced. I was also given custody of my boys and last born daughter.
That guy in picture is not 33 years old.
Njala muchalo. No day is passing in the new dawn without gruesome news like this making headlines. The husband probably failed to buy mealie meal.
Why do you marry if you can’t control yourself? I have never laid a finger on my wife who has given me 4 children and will never even if she enrages me. But I know she will never.
