A LUSAKA mother and her sons have been detained in police custody allegedly for ganging up to kill their father who they beat up with a plunk and other kitchen utensils.
Mwila Kasase 47 is believed to have asked the her children Madiba Zulu 20 and his juvenile sibling aged 18 to help her beat up their father because she was upset that he had taken the car.
Ms Kasase was out visiting a friend when she instructed one of her sons to use the vehicle which her late husband Alex Kanyama Zulu had gone out with so that she could be picked from her friends house.
However, her son informed her that her father had left with the car, which made her angry because she had to use other means of transport to get home.
Police Spokesperson Rae Hamoonga said the incident occurred between July 28 and 29 last month.
"Brief facts of the matter are that the deceased went out for business within Lusaka and came back home late while the wife had gone to visit her friend. Later, the wife called her son and instructed him to pick her from the friend’s place using the same motor vehicle ,but unfortunately the motor vehicle was not available as her husband was still out," he said.
He said this made the wife get upset and she decided to use other means of transport going back home.
Mr Hamoonga said upon arrival, she ganged up with her children one aged 18 and Madiba Zulu aged 20 in beating her husband using a plunk and other kitchen utensils.
"The relatives of the deceased were suspicious in the circumstances surrounding the death of their relative hence requested for a post-mortem to be conducted. On August 8, 2023 at around 12:30 hours the deceased’s body was exhumed and a post-mortem conducted at the grave yard. The results of the post mortem revealed that the deceased sustained a broken hand, leg and ribs" he said.
