  1. The number of mysterious, gruesome murders has skyrocketed over the last few years. Why? Zambians, you need to ask yourselves that question very seriously. What changed in the last few years?
    This is not coincidence. There is something spiritual influencing things in the country. Since when did we have beheadings in Zambia?
    There is an evil that the country has opened the door to. Mark my words

  2. Such a young, vibrant and beautiful Life cut short. This is deeply worrying. My condolences to the family.

  3. The story is so poorly written. Get some more facts! Left home… where is home? Where’s Mulungushi university? Any suspects? What’s police saying? Is this a ritual killing? Should there be a curfew? What’s police’s advice? ETC

  4. Zambia has a community which is docile.
    I know a country which is on 24/7 trading and people don’t go missing and it’s very safe with a huge population more than Zambia.

    The genesis to this peace and order was the community putting vehicle tyres and pouring some highly inflatable liquids to offenders even before the police took over. This was done on basis of pure evidence.

    May be our communities should handle things like that because the police have not made any headways.

    This is really sad. Just this week 3 university students have been murdered in unclear circumstances.

  5. Left home to deposit his university fees. This was most likely cash. Did they instruct him how to safely carry cash without attracting suspicion? Whatever the case, this is a brutal end to a young life. The family is definitely inconsolable. Condolences to his grieving family. I hope the Police will find the killers.

  6. LT, Please hire some qualified journalists.
    Isn’t this the same story you are carrying under the headline “Post-Mortem Suggests Missing Student May Have Taken His Own Life”?
    Here you give us a mishmarsh report saying he went missing on Tuesday but also say ” he
    was reported missing on January 27″
    You state his body had been decapitated but in the other story you state the body was decomposed and a post movement done at the scene(really? At the scene) suggested suicide. Take this job seriously
    Which is which?
