Mazabuka resident brutally murdered

A 31 year old man of Chibuyu in Chieftainess Mwenda’s area in Mazabuka has been brutally murdered by unknown people, a few kilometers from the area where he had gone to drink local beer.

Both Chieftainess Mwenda and Police confirmed the murder of Jimmy Muleya to ZANIS in Mazabuka yesterday.

According to the Chieftainess, the deceased suffered severe head and body injuries which are believed to have been inflicted on him using a sharp instrument.
She said there is need for the Ministry of Home Affairs to seriously address the deteriorating security situation in the chiefdom before more lives are lost.

She complained that murder cases in the chiefdom are on the upswing because of lack of police presence in the area.

Chieftainess Mwenda said she has since called for an urgent meeting with senior village headmen to discuss ways of sensitizing their subjects against killing each other.

“The victim was found lying on the ground without a shirt while one of his shoes was taken away by his assailants. This is worrying because only a few weeks, another man was murdered in a similar manner,” complained Chieftainess Mwenda.

Chikankata area in Mazabuka has been dogged with serious security concerns because of the absence of a police post.
The only police post which was in the area was razed down by angry villagers who protested against the death of a suspect while in police custody.

  1. This is really pathetic.How can a human being kill the fellow human being in cold blood like that?I think these people are deluded psychopaths who have no remorse for the things they do.Or Bushe ni lutuku or kacaso iyabakolele?All the same,that was very wicked.May his soul rest in peace!

  2. This situation is getting out of hand in Mazabuka. Kaya ba kudya chani! Iyo, chabipa mwe. At this rate, they will even start skinning their friends like animals.

  3. For the population Mazabuka has, it shouldn`t take more than 1 week to arrest these people. But then again kumwesu kaya.

  4. May the souls of those who died rest in peace and condoleces to their bereaved families. As for the security, pleas do something GRZ.
