Police in Mazabuka have re-arrested a couple from Nega Nega area who escaped from police cells and relocated to Mazabuka,after being locked up for allegedly killing their 19 month old baby.
Police in Mazabuka, who confirmed the development to ZANIS today, said the couple had been on the run for the last two years.
Police said the couple which was arrested by alert officers from Nega Nega are currently detained at Mazabuka Police station cells.
Police said the couple was pounced on at Show grounds shanty township yesterday.
Preliminary investigations have established that the couple who got married recently decided to murder the child because the husband allegedly felt uncomfortable looking after a step child.
” The suspects agreed to kill the baby boy because the step father felt uncomfortable looking after the boy and besides that he wanted to have his own children in the home,” Police said.
The Wife is the biological mother to the deceased boy.

sad indeed. my best guess is the man is impotent and certainly insecure. i say so because i don’t hear a mention of a kid since the two years this couple has been on the run!
I am Shocked!!!!
IYE THAT WOMAN! N FOR THE LEAST LOGICAL REASON(NOT THAT THERE IS ANY LOGICAL REASON TO KILL A CHILD)
those two are animals,they deserve a death sentence,thats first degree murder
Is it love 4 her husband or wat?i mean asking to kill the child and she agrees cos he wants to raise hiz own children.this world has literally gone to the dogs.
# 5 buckshot, you are right…or maybe the dogs have become people. To think about a woman agreeing to kill a child to marry somebody is really unthinkable!!!
Its sad that the first degree murder consequences in Zambia are not as stringent.
I can’t find any words strong enough in my vocabulary to condemn this act.
unfortunately there are women who will go to any lengths to get married because they are unable to sustain themselves financially.
these are really the last days..killing yo own son for marriage,so desperate to get married.
No comment! its a tragedy
unbelieveable…………..this is just another level,hope the authorities will look into this matter and deal with them accordlly.It´s a life lost here
In the first place, this crazy woman is more than mad.
2ndly, this couple has no love as a foundation for their marriage. This man, married this woman when she already had this baby……..
This is a heartless couple and story to say the least..
Jail thids couple for life.. I said so!!!!!!!!!! very annoying indeed.
Lack of virtues … No comment
Nega Nega area !! I wonder who gave it that name. In Germany the word Nega means Nigga and so I was surprised reading the headline.
Typical behaviour of a mail lion. Strange to humans. I can’t imagine a couple having a discussion.
I cannot believe they did this. This is terrible!
SHAME!
Kwena walibutemwisha we namayo! Eevn going to the extend of killing your own child you are not normal. I tink there was more to the killing than just wanting his own child. Some women are a disgrace to the women population in Zambia. I think this lady has no values at all. SHAME
what?! am shocked….maybe that woman is not zambian
Ho stupid would man be. This is totally crazy ali pena ngwele, lets hope aka bova mu chinkake!
