Northwestern Province Deputy Commissioner of Police Fred Mulenga confirmed the matter in a statement to the media today, saying the incident is reportedly to have occurred on 15th September, 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same unknown people tempered with one grave by way of trying to exhume the coffin,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr Mulenga said acting on a report received from a concerned resident, Police in the area rushed to the burial site where they found destroyed tomb stones and a half way dug grave in an attempt to exhume the body.<\/p>\n

He said police informed family members who confirmed that the tempered grave belonged to their relative Shadrick Kangwala adding that they later requested them to fill the tempered grave with soil.<\/p>\n

Dr Mulenga said the motive behind the destructive acts still remain unknown adding that an inquiry file has since been opened and investigations in the matter instituted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
