A 17-year-old male juvenile, FELIX MASUMBA has lost his life in a crocodile attack in Zambezi district.
Police Assistant Public Relations Officer Godfrey Chilabi explains that the incident happened between April 19, 2025, and April 27, 2025, in Makondo area.
Mr. CHILABI says FELIX MUSAMBA left home on April 19th, but did not return, prompting his family to initiate a search.
He says on April 27, his body was found floating in the river with both legs missing and visible cuts on the head.
However, Mr. CHILABI says when the family attempted to recover the body, a crocodile emerged, taking the remaining parts of the body and disappearing into the water.
He said the police were informed about the incident on April 27 at around 18:00 hours by the deceased brother EMMANUEL CHIPOPA and despite responding swiftly to the scene, the police were unable to locate the body at that time.
Mr CHILABI said the search exercise is still ongoing and further updates will be provided in due course.
