A 78 year old man of Chifunabuli district in Luapula Province has committed suicide. Confirming the incident to ZANIS in Chifunabuli, Luapula Province Police Commissioner, Chilije Nyirenda identified the deceased as Luscious Chanda of Chishi Island in Chief Mbulu’s Chiefdom.
Mr Nyirenda disclosed that Chanda took his life by hanging himself to a tree in the bush using a necktie.
He said the incidence was reported to Chifunabuli Police by a 34 year old man identified as Arnold Ntambeni of the same island after the body was discovered hanging to a tree.
Mr Nyirenda revealed that the deceased was accused of bewitching and killing his wife before he committed suicide.
He said Police officers visited the scene and advised the deceased’s relatives to bury him and mark the grave.
The 21st Century marches on relentlessly as others withdraw into the dark ages. It is amazing to behold. This report doesn’t even do justice to what it is telling us. What did the wife die of? Why are the police asking that the grave be marked? Even reporting is steeped in innuendos and insinuations mwaona ka?
We should stop discriminating against our Senior citizens. Why do We Always associate old age with witchcraft? When You are old and grey, automatically You become a threat. Why this backwardness bena Luapula? Indonshi niyosho ishi shimikila mu Church in the name of prophet chakuti. Leave our elderly alone.
I agree with you,for instance the police are not taking action against accusers.We remain so backward in the 21st Century.
It is no coincidence that black people believe in witchcraft the most and are also on average the most poor race yet have the richest continent ………
Utill we get leaders who don’t belive in that sh.it and educate the masses accordingly, we continue waisting time
@ kalok
Grave has to be marked because it might be exulmed for further investigation…Police always exulme bodies……especially in rural areas where they’re no mortuary facilities but even in Lusaka they do exulme bodies
These are the real criminal cases, not the “cyber” bills and trips to Japan.
Maybe Japanese can help police at Chishi Island.
