Tension has gripped Kabwe following the arrest of five suspects in the shocking murder of Enock Simfukwe Kasengele, a 22-year-old resident of 16 Miles along the Kabwe–Lusaka Road.
The Zambia Police Service announced that after weeks of investigations, the suspects have been jointly charged with one count of Murder, contrary to Section 200, Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia.
Those arrested include:
Nathaniel Barthrem, 34, a Nigerian national.
Maria Francis Zeleni Zaloumis, 40, a prominent farmer of Wonani Farm in Montana.
Daniel Chiluwa, 40, farm manager at Onani Farm No. 5, Montana.

The suspects are being held at Chowa Police Station in Kabwe and are expected to appear in court soon.
Police Public Relations Officer Rae Hamoonga said the arrests underline the Service’s determination to bring perpetrators of violent crimes to justice. “We will continue to pursue justice without fear or favour and ensure that those who commit serious crimes are held accountable,” he declared.
The case has sparked widespread attention due to the profile of some of the suspects and the brutal nature of the killing, with community members calling for swift justice.
Doing things for Social Media…..these days people even record when they committing a crime and post it on Social Media….attention seeking is now a big problem…people will do anything stupid just to get people’s attention on Social media….
After a public outcry. Christian nation NOT!
LT, there’s no such charge in Zambia. Brutal murder? An accused is charged with murder. Period. It’s not like in America where there’s first second and third degree murder charges.
Lets wait and see the final Judgment…..otherwise they’re just fooling gullible Zambians……. we all know the outcome…..Corruption is a cancer in our society….the Presecutor will get brown envelope…and case closed…NO ONE WILL BE JAILED
Rot in hell you disgusting murderers .Your lives will be dark and traumatic.
Heavy weights are flocking to Kabwe I wonder why ??
All just for show. Once the hype dies down at least one will be acquitted or a nolle entered against her.
