Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Murder accused Mumbi Phiri and Shebby Chilekwa will spend this Christmas and New Year in Mongu prison, reports Asa Manda.<\/p>\n

This follows Mongu High Court judge postponement of the sittings to March 23, 2023 when judgement will be delivered.<\/p>\n

This is in matter where Mumbi Phiri and Shebby Chilekwa are being tried in the murder case of UPND cadre Lawrence Banda.<\/p>\n

They opened their defence on December 12, 2022 with Mumbi Phiri opting not to say anything. She said she will rely on testimony given by her co-accused Chilekwa.<\/p>\n

Chilekwa taking his stand in court said Mumbi Phiri was not at the scene of shooting.<\/p>\n

His testimony was supported by another witness a woman from Mongo who said the Police Officers had offered her money to lie that Chilekwa is the one who shot Lawrence Banda.<\/p>\n

The two senior former Police Officers also testified on December 13, 2022 with one saying Mumbi Phiri during their investigations told them she was just politicking in a video she was saying she saw Lawrence Banda being shot at.<\/p>\n
