Eastern Province Police Commanding Officer, Limpo Liywalii, has confirmed in an interview in Lundazi.<\/p>\n

Mr Liywalii identified the deceased as Kenao Manzi of Sacha Village in Chief Mphamba\u2019s area.<\/p>\n

The Eastern Police Chief said the incident happened on July 12th around 19:00 hours at Mphamba Bridge along Lundazi Chitungulu road on his way home from a drinking spree at Lundazi business Centre.<\/p>\n

He said the incident happened when the victim was obstructed by the flush lights of the oncoming vehicle and in the process, he lost vision and fell into the river.<\/p>\n

Mr. Liywalii said police with help of officers from the fire brigade rushed to the scene after receiving a report from Lackson Manzi, the father of the deceased.<\/p>\n

The Police Commanding Officer disclosed that the body of the deceased had since been retrieved and deposited in Lundazi District Hospital mortuary awaiting burial.<\/p>\n

Mr Liywalii said postmortem was not done following a request from the deceased family members who were convinced that no foul play was involved after conducting an inspection on the body.<\/p>\n
