The body of a 13 year old female juvenile has been discovered by passers-by near Zambezi Market in Lusaka’s Ng’ombe compound.
The girl who is suspected to have been defiled before being murdered went missing on 30th March 2014 and was only discovered today 1st April around 06:00 hours.
Zambia Police Spokesperson Charity Chanda said police officers who visited the scene of the crime found some used condoms besides the dead body.
Mrs. Chanda said the deceased who was wearing a black skirt and a white shirt has since been identified.
She said investigations into the matter have been instituted in order to bring the perpetrators to book.
Mrs. Chanda said in a statement that the body of the deceased is lying in UTH hospital mortuary awaiting postmortem.
She said the Zambia Police is concerned with the number of dead bodies that have been picked in different places in Lusaka in the recent past.
Mrs. Chanda said police have therefore intensified patrols in all parts of Lusaka and are appealing to the general public with information that may lead to the apprehension and prosecution of the assailants to report to any nearest Police Post or station.
So sad!!! the police need to work extra hard and cage monsters who perform such acts!! People who behave like this should not be allowed to roam freely in society. This is an evil act of the worst kind that a human can perform on another human!!! So so sad indeed breaks my heart!!! For every crime committed the Are always clues left behind. Hope the police are going to do a good job for once and bring culprits to the fore
Isnt there DNA testing in Zambia?
With that remit from the condom they could analyse the semen and lead to the culprit
I don’t understand why sex before a woman is 20 is legal anyway.

Thanks
Sad development. Ministry of community development and ZP sensitization work needed for citizens to feel part of law enforcement. Especially proactiveness in reporting of suspicious characters in neighborhoods.
What investigation have you instituted imwe ba police? We all know that nothing will come out from your investigation. Up to now you have failed to bring to book the culprits in the murder of Ruth Mbangu. Toothless police force
Ba officer baoneka ba beer!!
The used condoms can provide the DNA and the culprits will be brought to book
Useless Police. Vili busy just stopping opposition rallies. Crime ili mbwe. Libongani, what are your achievements as IG, list them down if any? Dont forget mis interpretation of the public order act on your key achievements when you finalise the list!!
This is what happens when the police who are supposed to be protecting the public are used to oppress the opposition and innocent chiefs. You send policemen to surround Chitimukulu’s house where there’s no need to do so and criminals strike at women and kids. God will judge you for the blood that is being shed.
Very sad news.
May God comfort the bereaved family because of this loss of a young life.
Wat police can do is to keep sample of semen for dna matching when they finally have a suspect. The tuff job is to get a suspect. Since we don’t have surveilance cameras in zed, its gonna be a real headache ofcousre unless they use the usual surveilance juju of zed police.
Very sad indeed. Such people shouldn’t be spared if caught. Instant justice is good in such circumstances, though in the Bible it is not allowed.
