Two Nakonde men killed by unknown people

A 46 year old man of Nyela village in Nakonde district of Northern province has been shot dead by unknown people while a school teacher of the same area has been found dead in a nearby stream.

Northern division police commanding officer Charles Lungu has confirmed the shooting to death of the man but said he had not yet received a report on the mysterious death of the teacher.
Mr. Lungu identified the man who was shot dead as Green Singoyi of Nyela village in Musele ward, east of Nakonde district.

He said Singoyi was shot dead around 19:00 hours at his home and no arrests have been made so far.
The body of Singoyi is lying in Nakonde district health centre mortuary awaiting a postmortem.

And Nakonde District Commissioner, Edwin Sinyinza said Nyela basic school deputy head teacher, who went missing last Friday, has been found dead in a nearby stream.

Mr. Sinyinza said Billings Siame was found dead yesterday in Nachisenga stream, 15 km from Nyela basic school.

Mr. Sinyinza, who described the late Siame, as a hard working teacher said he went missing on Friday around 21:00 hours. The deceased went missing shortly after handing over a football kit he bought for the school from Nakonde boma.

“The school administration sent Siame to buy school jerseys and a ball and disappeared shortly after handing over the items,” said Mr. Sinyinza.

Mr. Sinyinza said police suspect foul play in the death of Siame, adding that initial investigations indicated that Siame could have been killed before being thrown into the stream. He said Siame’s mutilated body has since been buried.

And Zambia National Union of Teachers (ZNUT) Northern province chairperson, Nondo Kasanda has appealed to the police in the area not to rest until they find the people who killed Siame.
