In comfirming this sad development to komboni news, Copperbelt Police Commanding Officer Pathias Siandenge revealed that, the incident occurred on May 18, 2025, at around 19:00 hours.

Mr. Siandenge says the suspect and the deceased had been drinking opaque beers together with another uncle, Michael Mwansa, at a local tavern.
