North-Western Province Commissioner of Police, Hudson Namachila confirmed the incident which occurred on Monday night around 20:00 hours in Bungano village, in chief Mumena’s chiefdom.
Mr Namachila said uncle to the deceased, Chrispin Kakisa of Musolokoto village in the same chiefdom reported the incident to Mutanda Police station at 22:30 hours on Monday.
The Commissioner added that Mr Kakisa informed the Police that his nephew, Grivers Kakisa of the same abode was murdered by his elder brother Kaumbo Kakisa.
He said the incident happened after the duo picked a quarrel after a drinking spree.
“The deceased was hit with a stick on the head and sustained a cut which led to his death. The two picked a quarrel at a beer drinking spree,” Mr Namachila said.
He however said the suspect is at large, while the body of the deceased has since been deposited in Solwezi General Hospital mortuary awaiting post-mortem.
Let us learn to drink responsibly. This is sad to say the least
What kind of the people are coming from Solwezi all the cases of killing each other from drinking it’s Solwezi. What kind of beer do they drink?
Alcohol is directly responsible for more violent deaths and road accidents than any other substance and yet we allow it to remain legal and promote its consumption. Beer tarverns remain a gathering point where acts of crime such as theft, rape and murder are often planned before being carried out by thugs. Why do we allow Chibuku tarverns to operate after 19hrs by the roadside is what I fail to understand, can people responsible stop this vice, money is not as important as life and security. Even these recent mob justice attacks were often crafted by thugs found at beer taverns.
