Mr Chileshe stated that the deceased sustained a gunshot wound on the right side of the chest which led to his death.
He further said the body was picked by Police the same day and deposited at Yeta District Hospital mortuary awaiting postmortem as investigations into the matter have been instituted.
And the deceased’s brother, Sililo Longwani bemoaned the manner in which his elder brother had been killed.
