Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Luapula Province Minister Derrick Chilundika has been attacked at his home in Chingola in the Copperbelt Province by unknown criminals armed with a machete and stones.<\/p>\n

Mr. Chilundika, the Nchanga Member of Parliament, was at home with his family when the criminals besieged the premises after jumping the perimeter fence.<\/p>\n

Copperbelt Police Commanding Officer Sharon Zulu has confirmed that the attack occurred on Monday night. Ms. Zulu said the incident occurred on August 15, 2022 at about 21:00 hours at House No. 27 Buyantanshi Lane, in Nchanga North. Ms. Zulu said one of the attackers was shot dead when he attempted to confront an armed police officer who was guarding the premises.<\/p>\n

She revealed that Constable Mulapwa reported that on August 15, 2022 at about 21:00hours whilst performing guard duties at the Minister\u2019s residence, he saw one unknown person armed with a machete jumping over the wall fence from outside into the yard.<\/p>\n

Ms Zulu said the officer challenged the fugitive and asked what he wanted inside the yard but the intruder could not answer but charged towards the officer. She said after a while another man jumped over the wall fence into the yard while others from outside started throwing stones into the yard.<\/p>\n

Ms. Zulu said the officer called in re-enforcement and shortly, officers arrived and found the body of the criminal lying face down with both legs fractured. She said the scene was thoroughly inspected and stones were seen scattered in the yard, with a machete lying a meter away from the dead body.<\/p>\n

She concluded:\u201dThe scene was thoroughly inspected and stones were seen scattered in the yard, with a machete lying a meter away from the dead body. The Body was picked and rushed to Nchanga North General Hospital where it was pronounced dead, and later deposited to Nchanga north general hospital mortuary awaiting post-mortem and identification. Inquiry file has been opened and investigations have been instituted in the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n
