A two years old boy of Muselepete compound in Kasempa district died after falling into a ditch yesterday while his mother was reported to be out with the boyfriend.
According to police confirmation, the boy was left alone in the house around 22:00hours on Christmas Eve while the mother, Maureen Kanyata, 20, went out clubbing with a boyfriend.
Kasempa Police Officer in-Charge Clement Nchimunya said the boy upon realizing that he was alone went outside the house in the hope of finding the mother but ended up being soaked with the heavy rains and slipped into a hole.
Police have since detained the mother of the little boy awaiting further investigations and postmortem.
Meanwhile, Kasempa police have arrested about 15 people on Chrismas day for conduct likely to cause the breach of peace contrary to section of the penal of the laws of Zambia.
Mr Nchumunya noted that apart from the 15 people arrested, the district was generally peaceful and incident free.
And Mr Nchimunya has also commended the Inspector General of police for providing Kasempa police with a land cruiser to easy operations and described the vehicle as good for the terrene.
Kasempa police has for the past one year been operating without its own vehicle which had been difficult to conduct operations.

So sad. So so so sad. Rest in peace little boy…
Tough life: being a single mom and try to balance between making money to take care of the boy and providing physical attention…tough life for single mom….anyway, and where is the father of the kid? He should be equally caged. Why only cage the mother? This is gender bias.
Some people surely don`t deserve to be parents.How  wish puberty had by-passed the mother of that child.May the soul of the little soldier rest in peace.
moral degradation of society leads to such things
MHSRIP. The mother could have done better even if there may have been extenuating circumstances!!

ukutemwa ukunyengwa……………. yayayayayayayayayayayaa. anyway too bad for the boy….. his love for the mother has led him to rest ……….. MHSRIEP
This is the reason girls must wait to be adults before becoming mothers.
@ # 17 Nubian princess your comment has actually calmed me. I was going to say a lot about the current generation of Zambian women. We both know only 30% or so of Zambian men are wisely intelligent so no sides am I taking. 70% of black American of viable age are single because of a loss of morals and history. Hate to say this but African governments like China need to regulate moral degredation before it is too late. Do not copy Europe periods when it comes to love and family, weakest family structures period stem from there. Ferries like julious ceazar and the Greek Alexander the man’s girlfriend.
I knew it was definately going to be a Bemba woman!! Useless and so shallow minded, how could you leave a 2 year old alone in the room?
