A four- year- old child of Katikulula resettlement scheme area in Chitambo district in the Central province was yesterday evening found dead in unclear circumstances after six days of missing from home.
ZANIS reports that the child identified as Bethsheba Kunda went missing on 1st August around 09:00 hours after she went to relieve herself behind the family house.
The body of the child was found by passerby’s near the road side at Mulembo river with a cut on the ribs and protruding intestines.
Father of the deceased Evaristo Kunda was visibly shaken and expressed shock at the death of his daughter who was a twin.
And Katikulula Scheme Manager, Davies Lombanya confirmed receiving a report of the missing child and expressed sadness and distress upon seeing the body of the child and called on the police to act upon the case as soon as possible and bring the culprits to book.
“I received the report of the missing child on 1st August and people were mobilized to search for the child,” he said.
“I am very surprised and sad to see that the child has been killed in such a manner, the Police should act quickly and bring the culprits to book,” he added.
And scheme chairman Godfrey Sondashi said he had never witnessed such a thing since birth and added that it would be very difficult to supervise people in the scheme after such an incident.
“I’m really shocked at what happened. Since I was born I have never seen such a thing. It will be very difficult for me to supervise people now,” he said.
Central Province Commissioner of Police Standwell Lungu said he had not yet received a report on the matter by press time.
Oh my! Such things never happened in Zambia.What is going on? May the people who did this be tormented in their sleep till the day they ask God for forgiveness.
Did she commit suicide?
Why is this news anyway?
MHSRIP
Thanks
Build toilets for heaven’s sake!
Mushota, she did not commit suicide, you killed her!
Unbelievable.
@Mushota, do you still hear your baby scream in your womb after your doctor cut off her leg during the abortion you authorized?
Very sad reading.
Its high time DNA profiling was implemented by the government so that culprits can be apprehended. This the quickest and most efficient way to catch murderers and criminals who blight people’s lives.
Too many foreigners trooping into Zambia. So sad.
We are a lost race.Very sad.Mhsrip.
Saulosi their is no such thing as race just people groups. You know Jeffry Darma was white and he used to eat people. Apologise now!
MHSRP..Sad..Police Job yawoneka…
Iwe ka fake MUSHOTA are u real. Get serious at times. Its not always in good test that you have to pass a stupid comment. Stupid girl
Yes that Mushota is so stupid it must be even hurting.
Mushota prevails well online, face to face ni ga’nga.
shame!! Rest in peace little girl.
No child deserves to die like this, this is terrible and I pray the evil scum who did this should be punished in the utmost manner, be it by mob justice or whatever means. “Suffer not the little children”..no child deserves to die like this. Police please begin to act professionally, use whatever means possible to apprehend the culprit, whateever forensic tools you have make use of them. Forensic clues must be there get them and use whatever clue is available to catch the animal that did this.
First 19 hrs is too late for a child to go outside and behind the house alone. It’s already dark. Second, a cut on the side could mean organ harvesting. Did they check to see if the kidney on that side is still intact?
So sorry for the family. Wish there was something I could do for them.
it was 09:00 iwe chimbwi
Poor poor sweet little child my heart bleeds for you. Ati christian nation, what christian nation?!This just plumbs the very depth of wickedness and depravity.And who in their right frame of mind makes fun of sickening evil like this?This chi Mushota thing must surely be walking around with a dead soul.
This is because of too many witch doctors. If you go to Sangwapo it’s full of ing’anga from all over Africa. Can some one please regulate this inflow.
Sad indeed for such things to continue happening in Zambia. For sure the source of such acts are the witch doctors that have come like rain from all over Africa! Can the government regulate such activities. That’s why Am still with a view that DEATH PENALTY be maintained in the constitution and let it be active. Such criminals have taken it for granted that they can get away with it. The innocent child whose life has been terminated had full right to life. Very sad indeed!!! MHSRIEP
