A man aged 18 of Tundula area in Mumena chiefdom of Kalumbila has been killed by his uncle over nshima.
The incident happened on Monday around 22:00 hours and the deceased has been identified as Jimmy Mukendenge
This is according to North-western province Commissioner of police, Joe Njase, who confirmed the sad development.
Mr Njase explained that the uncle, Lewis Mtemba aged 27, picked a quarrel with Mukendenge, who had eaten nshima and left other family members starving.
“The uncle got upset and started beating Mukendenge using fists and kicks which resulted into the deceased sustaining painful side libs and general body pains,” Mr Njase explained.
He said was later rushed to Tundula health post where he was pronounced dead.
“The body has since been deposited in Solwezi General Hospital mortuary pending post-mortem examinations,” he added.
Mtemba has since been arrested and will appear in court for murder soon.
