Wife killer 60, beaten to death

A 52 year old woman of Mansa resettlement scheme was over the weekend murdered by her husband during a domestic dispute.

Luapula province second in command Muweswa Wakwinji confirmed the incident which happened around 04: 00 hours on Saturday morning, to ZANIS.

Mr. Wakwinji said Filimon Mateyo aged 60 suspected his wife Agness Mwape of having an extra marital affair. He said this made him beat his wife with a pounding stick until she died.

He said Mateyo ran into the bush upon realising that the wife had died but that he was apprehended by a mob which beat him to death.

He said the bodies of the two deceased are lying in Mansa General Hospital awaiting postmortem.

Mr. Wakwinji said a man has since been arrested in connection with the matter and that he would appear in court soon.

And a 72 year old cyclist of Musaila site and service in Mansa died after he was hit by a truck which was being towed on Samfya – Mansa road on Monday.

The accident occurred near Rock Front around 13 : 00 hours as he moved in the same direction with the Volvo truck registration number ABG 1995 driven by Harrison Mumba.

Mr. Wakwinji said the cyclist Ivoy Kambafwile was hit by the truck which was being towed.

  1. This is sad.. domestic disputes leading into murder.. this is unlike Zambia.. MHSRIP. And how can a truck being tolled hit you sure..?

  2. But these tu ma old men,surely u still have the energy to beat up your wife like that,let alone …..
    MTSRIP

  3. These people are too old to be having extra marital affairs. What does he want at 60 or if she was doing it what was she looking for.

  4. Miss Daisy: Since I am here out of Z, your kama gravator reminds me of abakashana baku Z and how beatiful they are. Keep up with your appearances until I shall know you One day.

  5. #5 Vaseline, Do you know ntwenu? What are people with extra marital affairs looking for? That should be the question. Its not about age. Ntwenu is ntwenu.

  6. Why do pipo resort to violence to sort out domestic matters. Now its two lives from one home dead for nothing.That couple has just left family memebers with a budurn funeral expenses, looking after children and granchildren hatred between two families. The other person will be appearing in court. Jealous pipo dont win no matter what its takes.

  7. I CAN ASSURE YOU THIS IS JUST A TIP OF AN ICE BERG. HAVEN,T YOU NOTICED THAT IN Z NOW DOMESTIC AGUMENTS LEAD TO MURDER. LOOK ALSO AT THE TIME THIS MURDER TOOK PLACE. I WOULDNT BE SUPPRISED IF IT WAS LYASHI LYA BUNGA AND THE MAN HAD NO WHERE TO GET KA N’GONO KO GULA UNGA. HOUSEHOLD ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT NEED TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY OUR GOVT IF THESE DEATHS CAN BE AVOIDED. THATS WHY ITSE TIKAMBA ATI “MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET”. ITS BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT HOUSEHOLD ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT IS THE HUB OF NATIONAL ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT.

    KAYA.

  8. I dont know what to say but to pray for all the married pipo pa Zed, it seems like ma affairs are taken just like drinking water, sad indeed.

  9. Why is there so much violence in Zambia lately? People must be frustrated with the failing leadership of RB & co.

  10. Ba Moze you are right. But I think in Z its the in thing to have affairs. Apparently you are not a man if you do not have mainini. And to make matters worse people are having children with these maininis.

  11. Ba Nine Chale, Its not RB but the evil spirit is at work. its not about this failed gov. We need deliverance

  12. wat a waste of human life. wen will people realise that your spouse is not a punch bag.

  13. #12 Married men hav these so called maininis because of lack of self respect, lack of self estime and confidence, A confident man will not digrace him self like that. The same is for women who have side ones, ati kapa side.

  14. AT that age killing a wife sure?this is amazing,am sure he has killed many women secritly.

  15. S. E. X is not worth killing someone for. But yet again.. there are only three things that start a WAR…. Woman, Money or Land

  16. she should have just let her go,Just remember – when you think all is lost, the future remains.This is the way to kill a wife; with kindness. In a society where people can kill their wives on mere suspicion of being disloyal, what they will do once they have irrefutable evidence is anybody’s guess.

  17. Sad story and sad way to end life. Why not just divorce?

    If the woman did not die, we may not have heard about her beating. It’s possible that there are women being beaten with hoe handles, axe handles, pounding sticks etc. Can somebody please protect our mothers and sister from these cruel men.

  18. Yaba….ntwenu ntwenu hmmmm is just great as every person does not want to share with others? Yes, thats how it should be. It is only for the who have been allowed to share as God planed it. However its not a license to commiting murder. You married people make Jehovah God your recourse in any marital problems….not killing.

  19. The question is why? why kill over s.e.x? why? why does it hurt so much when your wife/husband, partner cheats, why?

  20. It is all because of LOVE- love someone and then find out that she /he is sleeping with others worse more a friend or neighbour. But, one needs to control that temper. You can always find another one or stay single after wards.
