: CHONGWE MAN KILLS WIFE, COMMITS SU***DE AND REQUESTS TO BE BURIED NEXT TO HER

A twenty-eight year old man of Chongwe, in a fit of uncontrollable rage, stabbed his 24-year-old wife to death because he suspected that she had found solace in the arms of another.

Realising that due to his unforgivable actions they could no longer embrace in this lifetime, he took yet another drastic step of committing su***de, but not before drafting a farewell note with the explicit request to be buried next to her.

The su***de note that Chibale Chibuye left behind last week on Friday included the information that he had accused his wife, identified by police as Purity Nakaonga, of infidelity, hence stabbing her several times with a knife.

40 YEAR OLD MAN NABBED FOR STEALING CHEESE

We all know how expensive cheese has become in our country. A 40 year old man in Lusaka who seemingly could not afford to buy two packets, seemingly resorted to stealing them instead. This has landed him with a date at the Lusaka court, where he has to exonerate himself over theft allegations.

Andrew M., if charged, faces an offense attracting up to five years imprisonment.

His taste in cheese is not on the cheaper side as it is alleged that on November 4, 2022, Andrew M. stole two packets of cheese parmalat worth K569. 99 from Pic N' Pay.

MAN SENTENCED TO HANG FOR KILLING HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER

A man from Lundazi killed his wife upon allegedly finding her committing adultery in their bedroom in the presence of their child, has felt the long arm of the law by means of a noose to be presented around his neck, with his legs to be dangling underneath him until life will be sapped out of his body.

Mabvuto Z., aged 58, beat his wife to death upon allegedly finding her copulating with another man. It seems that that gruesome act was not enough to give him pause and reflect on his erroneous ways, as he proceeded to reach for his own child and violently twist the innocent baby's neck. Shamelessly, he dumped the child's body by the roadside before running off.

Mabvuto stood before Resident Judge Mercy Makubalo of the Chipata High Court as he faced two counts of murder that happened in June 2021. His wife Sarai Namusisha, who originally came from Malawi, and their child Mphatso are the deceased.

In the building of their case, the State called five witnesses to testify, including two of Zimba’s children as they had witnessed the killing of their mother and younger sister.

It has been decided that the noose will end Mabvuto's problems.

GIRL FROM MATERO NABBED FOR FAKING HER ABDUCTION

As the abduction of the 13 girls held captive in Chalala and were rescued amid confusion whether it was the Police who cracked the case or because of good samaritans aiding one of the abducted girls who escaped and cried for help, is still freshly ingrained in Lusaka residents' minds, a 19 year old girl took advantage of the case and staged an abduction with her boyfriend.

The young lady was reported missing by her worried uncle named Brighton Mwamba, aged 38. The concern was caused because the suspect told the family she was going to church in Soweto on Sunday but did not return home.

Whilst the panicked family worriedly searched every nook and cranny for the teenager, the girl was at her boyfriend's house in Lilanda West, Matero, where the two expanded on the plan of a fake abduction.

The two young love birds hatched a story in which the girl was injected with some unknown substance that made her become unconscious, after which she woke up in an unfamiliar place.

Once they had their tale, the boyfriend proceeded to call a different uncle of the girl by the name of Sitima Tasi, who stays in Chongwe. The boy demanded a sum of K50,000, which if not paid, would end the girl's life in 48 hours.

On the 17th of October, 2022 around 12:00 hours, an aunt to the girl, by the name of Dainess Banda, aged 34, called the victim's number, who surprisingly picked up and told her aunt that she did not know where she was, but that the building she was held in had no windows, only a door.

She proceeded to tell the aunt that there were ten other girls in starving condition being kept in captivity with her.

In the meantime, the Police had been thoroughly investigating in the background, which led them to the girl's boyfriend's house. They found and retrieved her on Wednesday October the 19th.

Rae Hamoonga, the Zambia Police Spokesperson, confirmed the incident and indicated that the teenager was detained at Matero Police Station and will appear in court soon. There was no mention of the boyfriend having been arrested as well for collusion.

The Police charged and arrested the teenager with the offence of Cheating, Contrary to Section 311 of the Penal Code Act Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia.

Hamoonga further warned potential offenders of this nature, to desist from such vices; as the police will not treat such falsehoods with kid gloves.

"Whoever shall be found wanting will be made to face the full wrath of the law."

"We are encouraging the citizenry to join hands with the Police in the fight against crime for the betterment of our society," Hamoonga added.

HOME LOCAL GOVT TO RE-GAZETTE FOREST 27

Between 250,000 to 300,000 hectares of forest is lost per year in Zambia to deforestation. Farming, urbanisation and most importantly; the charcoal process are the biggest culprits.

The effects of deforestation are disastrous with the greenhouse effect and reduction in natural water being some of them. This affects how humans can farm and live on this planet we call earth.

Those that live in Lusaka, are acutely aware of water problems in certain parts of Lusaka that are already quite dire such as Roma and Foxdale. Residents are bringing in water bowsers on a regular basis to fill their boreholes.

Government has tried to curb the situation by putting a tax on boreholes, the results of this implementation are yet to be seen.

What is clear, and what has been known for years is that forest reserve 27 plays a big role in replenishing the interconnected Lusaka Water table.

A process which has been rudely desturbed as suddenly close to 500 hectares of the roughly 700 hectares of forest is now in the hands of private individuals and they have put up structures. This process happened between 2011 and 2021.

Government now says that the Forest Reserve number 27 in Lusaka should be re-gazetted to protect the water recharge and allow investigations on how some settlers acquired land.

Elijah Muchima, the Lands and Natural Resources Minister, stated that the forest has only remained with 281 Hectares out of the initial 716 Hectares of Land that was reserved. He further stated that he will recommend to President Hakainde Hichilema to re-gazette the forest reserve.

He spoke whilst he toured Forest 27 on a fact finding mission whilst accompanied by Garry Nkombo, the Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, as well as Mike Mposha, the Water Development and Sanitation Minister.

Mr. NKOMBO added that settlers will be subjected to thorough interviews to establish how they acquired their land.

He said that the Government is aware of a special agreement for known settlers, who acquired their land when the forest reserve was de-gazetted during the UNIP era. Those settlers will not be subjected to scrutiny. It is the new bunch that have a case to answer.

Adding his two cents, Mr. MPOSHA said that the water recharge in forest 27 might be greatly affected, if people are allowed to continue putting up structures.

POLICE NAB CHINGANGU AS HE WAS IN THE ACT OF STEALING CAR MIRRORS AT CHURCH CRUSADE VENUE

The once boxing great Joseph Chingangu, known under the moniker "No Pressure" is currently feeling pressure whilst he is held in the detention cells of Kabwata Police Station in Lusaka.

He was detained there for attempting to steal side mirrors from a vehicle parked at a church crusade venue in Lusaka.

The suspect hung up his boxing gloves almost 10 years ago after becoming the African Boxing Union heavyweight boxing champion. Instead of building upon those accolades, he seemingly launched a criminal career of petty crimes. As reward for his crimes, he received a mob beating, plus an 18 month jail term back in 2018.

One can only assume that he is not proud of the man looking back at him in the mirror as his recent unsavoury stint involved Chingangu in attempting to steal side mirrors from a police vehicle parked at Lusakasa Grounds opposite Libala Secondary School. Members of the Seventh Day Adventist Church were having a crusade around 02:00 hours at the location at the time.

Unbeknownst to Chingangu, two alert female officers were in the vehicle that he targeted for harvesting the mirrors. The ladies nimbly got out of the car and swiftly apprehended the former national heavyweight champion.

Trying to inspire the cops to turn the other cheek, Chingangu requested to be prayed for. However, the SDA crusade conveners were in blissful sleep, and the cops were in no forgiving mood to take over those duties. Instead, they did what they were trained to do and graciously marched the former ABU champion to Kabwata Police Station for detention.

According to media sources, the former boxing champion was inconsolable as our own 56 year old Macbeth proclaimed that he was innocent and not feeling well.

DUNDUMWEZI ZAWA OFFICER GUNS DOWN WIFE AND SUSPECTED LOVER

Dundumwezi, felt the ripples of terror last Thursday as the news spread that a ZAWA officer had shot and killed his wife and her suspected lover.

The 46 year old suspect from Kalomo's Dundumwezi Zawa camp area was identified as Fair M. and he was arrested by the police. The two victims that were shot were identified to be Precious Moono Hamaindo aged, 34 and Wisdom Pinto, age unknown.

It appears that Fair's daughter, who is the step daughter to Precious, told her dad that the latter was having an affair with Wisdom. It is not known if Fair was already suspecting his wife, but it appears that he wasted little time in taking action.

Last Thursday evening, he invited the two victims to his house allegedly to confront the two. How the conversation transpired is unknown, but the gruesome outcome is final. Fair shot his wife and her alleged lover between 22hrs-23hrs on location.

Seemingly feeling remorseful after committing the double murder, Fair called a colleague, whom he informed of what he had done. He then requested for a motorcycle as transportation to report himself to the police station.

Once he got there, he was arrested and detained. The two bodies were taken to Kalomo Urban Clinic Mortuary where post-mortem would be conducted.

It is rarely fair to end another person's life, as one's existence is precious, yet there is also no wisdom in having an affair with a married person. There are only losers in this tragedy.

THREE CHINGOLA CROOKS ON THE RUN

Three criminals based in Chingola, are on the run after they robbed two Indian Nationals of more than K300,000 using an AK-47 and a pistol.

Sharon Zulu, the Copperbelt Province Commanding officer, states that the incident happened last Friday around 18:00 hours at Decent Distributors Wholesale.

Jay Patel, a businessman, and his colleague Harash Patel, were attacked by the three vagabonds, who robbed them of money amounting to K335,903.00. The police have since recorded a case of Aggravated Robbery.

"Brief facts of the matter are that, Mr Jay and his business partner Mr Harash knocked off at 18:00hours, as they were securing the shop, were attacked by three men who were armed with an Ak47 rifle and a pistol.

Mr Harash was ordered to drop the bag which contained some money and then one of the criminals fired a gunshot and picked up the bag. Later, he jumped into a white Toyota Mark X with Registration number BAV 2041. He sped off from the scene, immediately.

Mr Jay then shouted for help and members of the public chased after the vehicle whilst throwing stones at the car, which resulted into damaging the windscreen. Nonetheless the criminals managed to escape," according to her.

She said Police were informed, and they too gave chase. In the process, the criminals lost control of the vehicle and went and hit the pavement, causing the front and rear tyres to be damaged due to excessive speeding.

"The criminals then abandoned the vehicle and stopped a Toyota Rav 4 with Registration number BCV 4172ZM black in colour which was coming from Kitwe being driven by Douglas, other details not yet known. The criminals fired two gun shots and dragged the driver out of his vehicle and they jumped into the said vehicle and sped off heading towards Kitwe.

GEORGIA USES CHESS MOVES TO BLOCK ZAMBIAN DRAUGHTS TEAM FROM ENTRY

A cold draft is felt by Zambia's National draughts team as their entry into Georgia was denied upon landing at Tbilisi Airport Georgia.

It seems to be an obvious check-mate set up by Georgia, as the Zambian Team had carried all necessary documents which included visas and the International Draughts Federation IDF invitation letters that were needed for entry.

The Georgian immigration officers used red tape as an excuse, claiming that the Georgian Draughts Federation did not inform them of the team's coming.

To add insult to injury, the team which consisted of five male players and two female players has since been divided into two groups.

The first group was sent back to Zambia last Friday, which arrived back yesterday, while the second group will start off on Saturday 15th October, 2022 and is likely to arrive back in Zambia on Sunday the 16th of October 2022.

The team went to Georgia for the World Draughts Championship being held in that country.

MAN FAILED TO SEDUCE COUSIN WITH K10, STABS HER INSTEAD

You would think that after 43 years of being on earth, a man would know the dangers of in**st and have the wisdom to acquire knowledge that violence is rarely, if ever the answer to any situation. Perhaps, he should also be aware that offering an adult K10 for anything, let alone s*x, is truly insulting.

Well, it seems that all these tidbits of useful knowhow, somehow skipped by a 43 year old man from Mwinilunga. He had been asking Cupid's arrow to strike his cousin's heart because he wanted an intimate relationship with her.

She, also 43, had successfully been dodging those arrows similar to how Keanu Reeves dodged bullets in the Matrix. Still more, cousin dearest was persistent as he had one last trick up his sleeve, by sweetening his offer with a K10. We are not sure if it was offered in K2 notes, K5 notes, coins, a mix of them or a full K10 note.

What is known is the outcome; the man was rejected. Instead of being grateful that his cousin graciously declined his unsolicited offer of in**stuous prostitution, he really seemed hell bent on including the State into the matter, as he stabbed his cousin in the hip.

Where his love arrows had failed to hit target, his angry stabbing of his cousin, has finally gotten Evans M., a successful date. Unfortunately for him, that date is in court because he is charged with assault.

The status of his cousin is unknown, but the Sentinel prays that she is out of danger and in a stable condition.

KASEMPA TOWN COUNCIL ERADICATES K45,000 WORTH OF OPAQUE BEER

The Kasempa Town Council acted upon a tip off from the public, which resulted in the seizure and destroyment of over 600 cases of expired opaque beer. Until the raid, the liquor was being sold to the unsuspecting public.

KasempaTown Council Public Relations Officer Mukosela Kasalwe confirmed in a media interview on Wednesday that the goods were confiscated from a wholesale shop named Toyama Wholesale, who operates within the central business district. The sting operation was done in conjunction with district health inspectors.

After confiscating the seized expired beer, it was disposed of at the council's main dumpsite, which had to be done in the presence of the wholesale owners.

Mr. Kasalwe went on to say that “the council would like to urge retailers and wholesalers to ensure that they observe the law and take timely stock of their goods to avoid selling expired products.”

Furthermore, in order to ensure that the advised shelf life of products is adhered to, Mr Kasalwe said that the council, through its public health inspectors and the right channels within the Ministry of Health, will continue conducting random inspections of trading places.

FOUR MEN OF INDIAN DESCENT REPETITIVELY SODOMISE 87 YEAR OLD GRANDPA FROM KAFUE FOR P**N

A lady known as Honorable Buumba Malambo, the child activist has claimed that she stumbled upon a case where four nen of Indian descent have been sodomising an 87 year old grandfather in Kafue.

The claim is that these men have been filming the act of so**my in the form of po*******hy. The 87 year old would receive food in exchange.

Honorable Buumba Malambo was alerted by concerned citizens that these men have been visiting the old man for at least two weeks. The witnesses claim to have seen very big vehicles packed outside the same dilapidated abandoned house belonging to the old man.

The Police was mobilised and they interviewed the victim, who told them that the so**my in exchange for basic food had been going on for some time. The man could also not identify his assailants due to his failing eyesight.

Currently, the old man is obviously traumatised, and is nursing serious wounds inflicted to his behind.

The viftim explained that hunger forced him to keep quiet, as his children have abandoned him and nobody was taking care of him. In fact, his assailants gained access to his house by pretending to come to him as members of an NGO.

Honorable Buumba Malambo has since gathered well wishers around her that have donated aome basic necessities for the old man.

NIGERIAN YOUTH MURDER GIRL IN ‘MONEY RITUAL’, CUT OFF & BURN HER HEAD, NOLLYWOOD BLAMED BY COPS FOUR NIGERIAN YOUTH have been arrested for the murder of a girl whom they allegedly killed for ‘money rituals’. In a shocking video circulated on social media Nigerian police exposed how and why this atrocious crime was committed. The suspects are males all aged between 17-20 years old. Their leader was the boyfriend of the victim, who was lured to his room where they proceeded to brutally kill her. The gang was caught burning her head in a pot as part of a witchcraft ritual that was meant to make them rich. A Nigerian Police spokesperson called out the rotten values promoted by society as having caused the death of the victim. The idea that easy wealth can be obtained by committing Satanic rituals involving the murder and ‘sacrifice’ of human beings has been promoted by Nollywood movies for decades. Said movies and popular Afrobeat musicians also glamourize excess materialism and “good life” to vulnerable youths who aspire to partake in what they see on TV and online. Is it strange to think some will look for ‘shortcuts’ to obtain ‘wealth’ through witchcraft? Zambia is not immune from this. Nollywood movies involving dark magic and rituals are popular. Afrobeat artists signing about riches and opulent lifestyles dominate the radio waves. As far back as 2012, two Zambian teenagers brutally murdered and mutilated a taxi driver, stealing his car and allegedly cutting out parts of his body to sell for witchcraft purposes. All to “enjoy” drinking and partying over the festive season. We pray that justice is done in this case. Zambia needs to guard her youths against malign mental and spiritual influences and not just blindly allow foreign ‘entertainment’ to corrupt our society and values. #TrueCrime #Horror #Nigeria #Nollywood #Witchcraft VIDEO SOURCE: Social Media
