POLICE have opened a docket against former Health deputy minister Solomon Musonda who is alleged to have caused the death of a man in a road accident as he was driving in Serenje in September this year.
Central Province deputy police chief Nelson Phiri said officers would soon exhume the body of the deceased who was buried without a post mortem being carried out.
The police would now have to summon the former deputy minister for questioning.
The police ordered that the body be exhumed so that investigations could be thorough.
Recently, Dr Musonda said he had paid money to the relatives of the deceased for funeral and burial arrangements out of compassion.
He said the payment was not in any way meant to avoid prosecution and that it was not compensation.
The former deputy minister said police facilitated the payment of money to the deceased man’s family and subsequent burial of the body without conducting a postmortem and wondered why the police “could t urn around.”
But Mr Phiri said investigations had advanced and that statements had been recorded from a Serenje based police officer and a court messenger who is alleged to have handled the burial consent.
A burial consent, which is alleged to have been forged, had been sent to Lusaka to the handwriting experts for examination.

Nichi Dr chakwisa ichi kanshi? He should know the cause of death in such circumstances has to be established. It was an accident, the cause of death has to be known. So what was put on the death certificate then?
Why did he help them with money then? And yes he is right and I agree with him. Why didn`t the Police open a dockect then? Because the Police where in RB`s back pockect you tool! You caused death by dangerous driving, in any other country you would be in jail by now.

He is a foolish,callous person.The way he behaved as far as causing the death of this person is the same way he would behave in the operating room.Hope they throw the book at him and people would never ever have to entrust their lives in the hands of such a person.
