Testifying before Judge Conceptor Zulu, expert witness Isaac Kalimanshila dismissed claims that the late general may have inflicted the fatal wound.
Mr. Kalimanshila stated during cross-examination that the gunshot wound was sustained at close range and that the T-shirt worn by General Shikapwasha contained gunpowder residue—evidence he said did not support a self-inflicted shooting.
The testimony also comes amid earlier claims that the former commander had allegedly informed medical staff at Maina Soko Military Hospital that he had shot himself—claims the witness said he had no knowledge of.
In the case before the court, Jane Lusengo, the wife of the deceased, is charged with one count of murder. It is alleged that on January 14, 2024, she shot her husband, who later succumbed to the injury on January 15, 2024.

Not very good reporting! If you do not know how to summarise a court proceeding, do what Diggers does. Report verbatim and let the readers make up their own minds.
Verbatim is for Hansards. Newsmedia should have trained journalists who can summarize on any topic. That’s what a news audience expects from these publications
