Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>An unidentified man has been beaten to death in Mwanga village of Nakonde district in Muchinga province. Muchinga Police Deputy Commanding Officer, Lucky Munkondya, said the deceased was allegedly killed by a group of motorbike riders from Nakonde town who accused him of stealing a motorbike.<\/p>\n

Ms. Munkondya, who confirmed the incident to the Zambia News and Information Services (ZANIS) in Nakonde today, stated that the incident happened on September 29, 2022 around 16:00 hours near Mwanga primary school.<\/p>\n

\u201cA group of people believed to be Nakonde residents went with motorbikes in the village and got the now deceased from where he was hiding and started beating him,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She said it is believed that the victim fled to Mwanga village to seek refuge after allegedly stealing a motorbike. Ms. Munkondya disclosed that the offenders used sticks, iron bars and stones in the act.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter catching him, the mob took the now deceased away and along the road leading to Mwanga primary school. They started beating him with sticks, iron bars and stones until he died. Thereafter they jumped onto their motorcycles and rode away,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She added that the matter was later reported to Nakonde Police Station by Matthews Chansa, a teacher at Mwanga primary school. Ms. Munkondya revealed that the police officers who visited the scene found the body lying facing down with several body injuries and tied hands.<\/p>\n

She said the body has since been deposited at Nakonde district hospital mortuary awaiting post-mortem and identification while investigations are underway.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe docket has since been opened and no arrests have been made yet. Efforts are being made to bring the culprits to book,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
