Oweee! how awful for the kids to go that way. I suspect foul play. why did the mother go to buy panadol at 23:00hrs?
I don’t understand the second crime, a woman set fire to a GLASS THATCHED HOUSE? Did you mean GRASS?
The English Language in this article is pathetic to say the least. one wonders whether the role of an editor! It’s terrible indeed.
So sad with loss of those 2 babies.

Sata has again sucrificed innocent souls for by-election…PF government is evil
You Muppet!
Iwe chi Zambian Watchdog! Truly you are a hound and not a human being. How can you be so insensitive? Go back to ZWD where your kind are tolerated
Oh my God.This is the worst news i have ever heard today. Mtsrip.
Sad news. Nearly as sad is the reporting. Ati ‘ in related development’. How can the two incidents be related when one was in Lusaka and the other on the Copperbelt?
noticed that “related development” L.T. needs an Editor/ Proof reader pronto!
May their souls rest in eternal peace. But ba LT, first you write that the girls were “burnt to ashes” then a sentence later your write that “their bodies are laying in UTH.” Am I the only one finding the two statements to be incongruent?
I think they wanted to write, their ashes are lying in UTH….they smoke before they write these articles
May the Souls of these dearly beloved ones rest in eternal peace in the presence of God. It is with such grief and sorrow I read this article…
