A 42 year old woman of Chinsali has been arrested for allegedly murdering her 50 year old husband.
Peggy Chewe of Makoba village in chief Nkula’s area in Chinsali district of Muchinga province was arrested yesterday around 11:00 hours.
The arrest has been confirmed to ZANIS in Chinsali yesterday by Muchinga province deputy police Commissioner Bonny Kapeso.
Mr. Kapeso said Chewe hit her husband with a stick on the head after a domestic dispute erupted on Tuesday around 20: 00hours after he followed her at her house.
He said the deceased sustained a deep cut on the head and later went to his home where he died in his sleep.
It is believed that the couple Chewe and Bupe where on separation for over two years.
The body of Bupe is currently lying in Chinsali district community hospital mortuary awaiting postmortem while Chewe is detained at Chinsali central police station and will appear in court soon.
Mr. Kapeso has since warned people in rural areas not to take the Law in their own hands when aggrieved.
muchinga province!
He is a fool. At least its not murder but man slaughter. He wanted to die. After being hit he goesbhm and not the hospital. What a fool. He followed her.
A divorce is innevitable after two years separation why following her?
He followed her.May be he wanted to taste the fruits,mind you,it was 20:00hrs
abena Chinsali nikaka. even when you mean well their reactions are always brutal. See Nerve Mumba’s behavior, typical of abena chipeku. Cage the woman and let her rot in Jail.
Next door in Namibia there is an epidemic of woman-killers; looks like we would like to do an opposite take for a change. Could be a good idea for the two countries to consult and decide to grow a colony of violent couples…
