WOMAN DETAINED FOR SUSPECTED MURDER OF HUSBAND

Police in Ndola have detained a 47-year-old woman, Annety Besa, of Chipulukusu Compound, in connection with the death of her husband, Lewis Chishimba, aged 44. Copperbelt Police Commissioner Peacewell Mweemba confirmed the arrest following the death of Chishimba on 25 January 2025 at Ndola Teaching Hospital, where he had been admitted due to injuries allegedly sustained in an assault by his wife.

The incident reportedly occurred on 7 December 2024 after a domestic quarrel at the couple’s home. The dispute arose after Chishimba confronted his wife about the behavior of her eldest daughter, from another marriage, who was allegedly bringing boyfriends into the house in her mother's absence. Instead of addressing the issue, the wife allegedly became angry, and an altercation ensued when the deceased returned to collect his belongings later that evening.

During the fight, Besa is alleged to have inflicted severe injuries on Chishimba, including assaulting his private parts. Onlookers intervened to separate the pair. Chishimba later lost consciousness while at his makeshift stall and was taken to the police by his brother Gift Chisenga, 27. He regained consciousness en route, reported the assault, and obtained a medical report. Besa was initially detained for assault occasioning actual bodily harm (OABH) but was later released after the couple reconciled, opting for separation.

Relatives reported that Chishimba continued to experience severe headaches following the incident, leading to his hospital admission on 24 January 2025. He died the following day at 17:00 hours. The family reported his death to the police, suspecting it was a result of the injuries sustained during the assault.

The body of the deceased has been deposited at the mortuary, awaiting a postmortem and subsequent burial. Commissioner Mweemba called on families to resolve domestic disputes peacefully and avoid violence, emphasizing the importance of seeking intervention in such cases.

NDOLA MOTHER DETAINED FOLLOWING DEATH OF INFANT

Police in Ndola have detained a 30-year-old mother, Matildeh Phiri, in connection with the death of her 18-month-old son, Harrison Mumba Junior, in an incident described as tragic and preventable.

Copperbelt Police Commissioner Peacewell Mweemba confirmed that the report was received on Saturday morning through Mapalo Police Post. The child’s father, Harrison Mumba, 48, of Chipulukusu Compound, reported the incident after discovering his son unresponsive in their home on the night of 24th January 2025.

According to the police report, Mumba entered the bedroom around 20:30 hours and found his wife lying on top of their baby. He immediately moved her and noticed whitish foam coming from the child’s nostrils, an indication that he was lifeless.

Despite numerous attempts to wake his wife, who was allegedly heavily intoxicated, Mumba managed to wake her and explained the situation. The couple rushed the child to Mapalo Clinic before being referred to Arthur Davison Hospital, where doctors confirmed the child had died before arrival.

The child’s body was deposited in the hospital mortuary pending a postmortem, and the mother is currently in police custody as investigations continue, Commissioner Mweemba Shared.

Preliminary findings suggest a history of negligent behavior by the mother, attributed to excessive alcohol consumption.

The Commissioner further expressed his condolences to the family and urged parents to act responsibly to prevent similar incidents.

Police have opened a docket for manslaughter, and investigations are underway to determine the exact circumstances of the child’s death. Further updates will follow as new details emerge.

LUSAKA YOUTH SENTENCED TO THREE YEARS FOR THEFT AND FRAUD AT FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE CENTRE

A Lusaka man’s pursuit of a lavish lifestyle has ended with a three-year prison sentence after being convicted of theft and fraudulent false accounting involving K108,000.

Mwebantu reports that Eric Ndhlovu, 31, of Lilayi, worked as a stores clerk at the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC), where he betrayed the trust of his employers by forging payment instructions and embezzling funds. The money, in part, was used to purchase a Toyota Mark II, which has now been seized by the State.

Delivering judgment, Lusaka senior resident magistrate Trevor Kasanda stated, “I have entered a statutory judgment. The State is at liberty to recover the K108,000.”

Ndhlovu faced over 40 counts, including theft by a public servant, forgery, uttering false documents, fraudulent false accounting, and money laundering. Court records revealed that between May 9, 2022, and April 10, 2022, Ndhlovu forged payment instructions for staff allowances, including one for K8,950, which he presented to Investrust Bank for payment.

Testimony from witnesses, including a ZANACO banker, confirmed that transactions were linked to funds stolen from the FIC account. Magistrate Kasanda noted that while no one physically witnessed Ndhlovu forging documents, witnesses identified him as the individual who presented the fraudulent documents to various banks.

"I am satisfied that the K108,000 was stolen by the accused. He used the money to purchase the Toyota Mark II. Evidence shows that the funds deposited into his account were directly linked to the FIC,” the magistrate said.

According to Mwebantu news, despite his not-guilty plea, the court found Ndhlovu guilty of exploiting his position at FIC to forge documents and misappropriate funds. He was sentenced to 24 months imprisonment with hard labor for theft by a public servant, fined K25,000 for money laundering, and handed an additional three-year sentence for fraudulent false accounting. The sentences will run concurrently.

In mitigation, Ndhlovu’s lawyer pleaded for leniency, highlighting that he is a youthful first offender, a father of a one-year-old child, and a caregiver to his blind brother. The defense argued that he had expressed remorse and still had the potential to contribute to society.

Despite these submissions, the court emphasized the gravity of his offenses, leading to the imposition of the sentences and the recovery of the stolen funds.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS FARMER’S DEATH ALONG MPONGWE-LUANSHYA ROAD

Mpongwe Police Station has launched an investigation following the discovery of the body of a farmer, Mr. Jackson Kalangwa, aged 26, along the Mpongwe-Luanshya Road near the Kashinka area in Mpongwe District.

According to Copperbelt Police Commissioner Peacewell Mweemba, the incident occurred between 04:00 and 05:00 hours on January 22, 2025. The victim's uncle, Mr. Moses Mafeshi, aged 32, reported the matter, stating that Mr. Kalangwa had sustained deep cuts on the left side of his body and appeared to have suffered a fractured jaw.

Commissioner Mweemba revealed that the deceased, a resident of Kashinka Village, Chisungwa Chiefdom, left his home on January 21, 2025, around 17:00 hours for a drinking spree at the Turn Off Market with his brother, Mr. Edward Kalangwa, and a friend, Mr. Lewis Chitafu. While his companions returned home, Mr. Edward at 01:00 hours and Mr. Chitafu at an unknown time, the deceased never made it back.

At approximately 05:00 hours on January 22, a man identified as Mr. Visto (other names unknown) alerted the family that Mr. Kalangwa’s body was lying by the roadside near Potential Warehouse. The family initially reported the case as a road traffic accident (RTA) hit-and-run.

However, Copperbelt Police Commissioner Peacewell Mweemba stated that a thorough inspection of the body at Mpongwe Mission Hospital, where the victim had been pronounced dead, revealed severe injuries inconsistent with a hit-and-run incident. Deep lacerations and a suspected fractured jaw indicated that a sharp instrument was likely used to inflict the injuries.

The body of Mr. Jackson Kalangwa has been deposited at Mpongwe Mission Hospital Mortuary awaiting a postmortem examination. An inquiry file has been opened, and investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding the victim’s death.

Copperbelt Police Commissioner Peacewell Mweemba has urged members of the public who may have information relevant to the case to come forward as investigations continue.

TIKTOK RESTORED AFTER BRIEF BAN IN THE US

TikTok briefly went dark in the United States over the weekend after the Supreme Court upheld a law banning the app, citing national security concerns over its Chinese ownership by ByteDance. The ruling, announced Friday, aimed to prevent China from accessing US user data.

On Saturday night, TikTok users were met with a message informing them of the ban. By Sunday, the app unexpectedly resumed operations for existing users with a message thanking incoming President Donald Trump for his intervention. Trump announced plans to issue an executive order granting TikTok more time to negotiate a deal that would protect US national security.

Potential solutions include selling a 50% stake of TikTok to a US entity. While ByteDance has previously opposed such a sale, pressure is mounting as users and advertisers alike consider alternative platforms like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

However, TikTok’s sister apps, including Lemon8 and CapCut, remain inaccessible in the US. With Trump’s inauguration set for Monday, the next steps for TikTok’s future remain uncertain as the global app navigates its most significant regulatory challenge yet.

MAN ARRESTED FOR ASSAULTING WIFE IN TWAPIA

Police in Twapia have arrested a man for allegedly assaulting his estranged wife, leaving her with serious injuries. The suspect, Mafuta Frazier Ngonsa, is accused of attacking Sharon Chanda, 37, using a shovel and a bamboo stick. The incident took place around 10:30 AM yesterday at a thatched house near Kafubu Dam in Madando.

Copperbelt Police Commissioner Peacewell Mweemba shared that the couple had been separated for two weeks. Earlier on January 12, Chanda reported a marital dispute at Mwenye Police Post, accusing Ngonsa of failing to provide necessities, assault, and damaging property, including demolishing part of her house. Ngonsa was detained but released on police bond on January 14.

On the morning of January 15, Chanda visited Ngonsa to return his clothes and informed him that she was no longer interested in continuing the marriage. Ngonsa initially received her calmly, but later reacted by retrieving a shovel and a bamboo stick. He is alleged to have undressed and beaten her during the confrontation.

Police who visited the scene found Chanda in critical condition and rushed her to Ndola Teaching Hospital for treatment, where she is admitted. The suspect was arrested on-site and is currently in custody as investigations continue.

The Comissioner has urged the community to report cases of domestic violence and seek assistance when necessary.
