The funeral of 19 year old Nchimunya Makala, who was allegedly murd£red in cold blood at her boyfriend’s home in the Mwanza area, is currently underway.
Hundreds of mourners, including classmates from Mwanza Day Secondary School where Nchimunya was a pupil, have gathered to pay their last respects.
Nchimunya was reportedly killed by her 21 year old boyfriend, Charles Bbole.
According to family sources, the tragedy occurred after Nchimunya was sent on an errand by her mother, Jennifer Mweene, aged 55, with whom she lived. When she failed to return within a reasonable time, her mother attempted to reach her by phone, but it was switched off.
Around 12:00 hours, Robert Hanzala, 61, a resident of the same village and uncle to the suspect, reported seeing Charles Bbole running toward his home, shouting for help. He observed that his nephew had ingested an unknown poisonous substance before collapsing.
