An ex-convict has allegedly st@bbed to d£ath a man of Petauke District who he accused of having an affair with his wife.
Limbikani Njobvu was st@bbed in the chest twice, by Vincent Makumbi, during a fight at his lover’s house. He di£d instantly.
Eastern Province police commanding officer Robertson Mweemba said the suspect was separated from his wife, Mercy Phiri, in 2021, after he was convicted and sentenced for stock theft.
Mr Mweemba said the suspect was released from prison this year, and he reconciled with his wife but they were not living together.
“On Saturday, around 20:00 hours, the suspect decided to visit his wife and found Limbikani Njobvu in the house.
“The two differed and started fighting and in the process, before people could separate them, Njobvu was st@bbed twice in the chest using a kn!fe, he fell down and died instantly,” he said.
Mr Mweemba said the suspect later got on a motorbike and fled the crime scene.
