A 31-year-old Lusaka businesswoman, Mwansa Mfula, this morning presented her testimony before the Lusaka High Court as part of the state evidence in rebuttal against murder accused Mathew Mohan during his defence.
Appearing before Supreme Court judge Gregory Phiri who sat as High Court judge, Ms Mfula narrated how police officer got the car keys to the unregistered Toyota Vitz from her at night, which is believed to have been used in the murder of Itowala.
“In November last year, around 01:00 hours, police officers came to Kabwata, my grandmother’s house to collect keys for the Toyota Vitz,” she said, adding that the police officers claimed that the car had been involved in some crime.
Ms Mfula further said when she asked the police about the nature of the crime the car was involved in, the police officers did not tell her what crime the vehicle had been used to commit.
She also told the court that the car which was purchased from a Swaziland national in 2009 was sometimes driven by her husband and further disclosed that her husband was a friend to Mohan.
Ms Mfula said the police officers who went to pick up the key from the house in Kabwata also informed her that her husband had been arrested but they did not disclose to her the charge.
She produced two photographs before the court to prove that the car in question was hers and that she had custody to the said vehicle at the time.
When being cross examined, Mfula was asked why the car was not registered and she responded saying she did not know why her husband did not register the vehicle with relevant authorities.
This is a case in which Mohan, Idris Patel and Shabia Patel are charged with the murder of Cyclone Hardware proprioter Sajid Itowala.
Cant wait to hear the end of this case. I can foresee turns and twists in this case.
This is interesting
VIVA Mohan! Even me i kn kill 4 money, while others got the money 4rom selling Zamtel.
@ # 3, we need to be sensible and not just posting things that don’t make sense. Am really worried at the reasoning of some people, its not Zambian. Anyway, may justice prevail in the Mohan case.
#3 hahahahahaha….walipenane, i have no words.Iam sure you dont mean your words, you are just joking.take care man.
IS IT A COINCIDENCE THAT EVERYTIME WE HEAR OF A CRIME IN ZAMBIA, A BEMBA MUST BE IMPLICATED….?OR THATS WHAT THEY LIKE TO DO?A BEMBA AWA SURE NABEBA NEO…
mamamamamama, your husband is in s.h.i.t. no mo ukudoda. I wonde how much he was paid but its clear he is an accopmlice to this crime. chimangeni chabe ku mukobeko. I wish he would be stoned to death.
This reporting, what is the name of the husband??
cannot comment. they might trace my location
Aya nima rubbish che
LT frankly this kind of reporting doesn’t hold water; be thorough and avoid ambiquity. Why address Mwansa Mfula as Ms Mfula? It seems as though that’s her maiden name. I mean, this is really poor journalism!!
number 3,i cnt lie to you ndiwe dull chap..go bk to sch.
# 9 great one. Iam scared to comment also.
ya chisuma ichi chi mohan, i wish nalimwanakashi.
#8 & 11, The story is a little bit clearer in the Post online.
@6,Mr NDLOVU, For now i cant believe what yardstick one selfproclaimed zambian economist one CHIBAMAB KANYAMA used to come up with what he writes about bembas in as far as entreprenuership is concerned. looks like there are more into thieving, i also remember that bembas are the only tribe when they came into zambia, could not do agriculture except steal cattle from the Bisas. That aside, Mfula will be caught pants down soon, she has already started cracking in cross-examination. For me, iam working for the MULA! @3, Man,relax what goes around comes around and when the right time comes, those you allege in the zamtel deal will be brought to book. Mulandu siu ola, see Simeza,who knew bakamba kuti basangwa mufya ifi! PEACE.
