Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>A couple from Lusaka\u2019s Chalala Rockfield area has been committed to the Lusaka High Court to stand trial in connection with the death of their 14-year-old maid. Smart Mumba, aged 40, and his spouse Marjory Lulembo, aged 30, are accused of the murder of Janet Chola.<\/p>\n

It is alleged that on August 30, 2023, around 09:00 hours, the couple presented themselves at the University Teaching Hospitals Police Post with the body of Chola, seeking to procure the \u201cBrought In Dead\u201d certificate.<\/p>\n

However, law enforcement officials became suspicious of foul play upon discovering multiple physical injuries on the deceased\u2019s body, prompting an immediate launch of investigations.<\/p>\n

Investigators from the Zambia Police Service determined that on August 29, 2023, the couple engaged in a physical altercation with the deceased, leading to further questions surrounding the circumstances of the tragic incident.<\/p>\n
