A Serenje district resident is on the run after he allegedly murdered his uncle in cold blood on
suspicion of witchcraft.

Police public relations officer Ndandula Siamane confirmed the incident to ZANIS in an interview today..

Ms Siamane said that on Friday 17th May 2011 around 20: 00 hrs Zachariah Mwila of Chisenga village around 20hrs on Friday 17th May 2011 hacked to death his 43 year old Geoffrey Nsaka uncle using a sharp object.

The suspect allegedly travelled to Namabombo village 20 kilometers west of Serenje to find his uncle who he suspected of practising witchcraft.

He is also on record of having visited several witchdoctors in pursuit of his uncle who he suspected of having been responsible for many deaths in the family and at several occasions made threats of killing him.

Post mortem on the late Nsaka’s body was done at Kabwe general hospital and it has since been buried in Nabowa area of chief Chitambo in Serenje district.

Ms Siamane also disclosed that the suspect is an ex convict facing manslaughter charges after he allegedly killed his friend on suspicion of committing adultery with his wife.

Police have since launched a manhunt for the suspect.

  4. may the soul of the deceased rest in peace. One of my fellow PHD students has just pointed out to me that the day of the alleged crime, 17th of may, 2011 was not a friday as the article portrays.

  5. Even at funerals you good looking women are appreciated, hiiii kuti walilila mo mu Ndandula mwe.

  6. I am suprised that no one is commenting on the beauty of this police woman. Has she changed now? ahahah

  7. Can’t nicely follow Ichisungu ba LT . . . 20 00 hrs Friday 17 May twice in one sentence and also Siamane . . . Siamana.

  8. # 9 You have a point.# 2-3 Mo taim You are witch supporters, some of us are tired of hearing these story without taking action. Katele + others. Those that take law into their own hands did so out of frustration.. I hope they fail to arrest him for killing one man who killed many people.

  9. Whenever you buy from Christian Louboutin outlet make sure to check out all the models because most buyers end up buying one and then will find that they are actually in love with other variants which are much more appealing compared to the former
