A 61-year-old woman of Chama, Muchinga Province, has been hacked to death with an axe by two men who are believed to have suspected her of practising witchcraft.
The two men are on the run.
Muchinga Province deputy commanding officer Lucky Munkondya said Eunice Banda was murdered in Chama’s Farmers’ Training Centre Township on Thursday with preliminary investigations suggesting that it was over witchcraft suspicions. This is contained in a report published by Zambia Daily Mail.
