A 38-YEAR-OLD man of Lusaka has shot dead his lover before turning the gun on himself, blowing his head off after a quarrel.
Lusaka Province commissioner of police Nelson Phiri and police spokesperson Charity Chanda confirmed this in separate interviews in Lusaka yesterday.
Mr Phiri identified the deceased as Julie Chalindiwa and Noel Lizunga.
“The incident happened around 21:00 hours on Friday, January 22, 2015, in Matero. The couple picked up a quarrel and in the process, the man shot his lover.
“He afterwards pointed the gun at himself and shot himself in the head,” he said.
Mr Phiri said that the couple died on the spot.
And Mrs Chanda said Mr Lizunga allegedly shot Ms Chalindiwa in the chest and abdomen using a pistol which had nine rounds of ammunition.
“The bodies of the two deceased persons are at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH). The shooting happened at a family bar in Matero,” she said.
Meanwhile, a relative of Ms Chalindiwa, who sought anonymity, said Mr Lizunga allegedly followed his lover to her friend’s place in Matero and allegedly accused her of being boastful because she was pretty.
“She had gone to visit her friend in Matero after she knocked off from work. He made a lot of accusations that caused the two to start quarrelling in the presence of Julie’s friend, who was present when Mr Lizunga shot her and later shot himself,” the relative said.
Ms Chalindiwa is survived by three children.
Meanwhile, police in Lusaka have picked up a body of an unidentified woman in Kanyama township.
Mr Phiri said that the body was found with injuries and that police suspect foul play.
“Investigations have been instituted and the body is in the University Teaching Hospital mortuary awaiting identification,” Mr Phiri said.

Marriage must at all time be put and taken care in the hands of our God. Without which our marriage will alway be stormy and full of confusions.
I witnessed the alive these two bodies at the UTH,and thought they were thieves. Because they were brought in by C5s..
Love is a very painful and complicated thing. However that does not warrant this vile behaviour. This is second case in week we have had regarding use of personal fire arms. It seems under pf thr regulation of personal firearms is now in the past. I was also surprised to come across pf cadres with live guns during my on the ground tours. The country is lawless and needs a sane party like upnd.
where the hell have you been NEZ. It has been Zeeeeeeeeeeeee I got worried and thought you had defected to newly formed DF or theeeeeee PF. Back to the ship indeed gun running is on the increase. I suspect if they further investigate maybe the gun is not even licensed. Its not the wifes fault that she is beautiful. I mean if you have it you must boast and be proud. Indeed UPND should come anf bring gun sanity in the city as of today every one is buying guns like we buy bubble gum??????
The man and the lady who was short on the abdomen both the men and the woman where drinking about 20 meters away from the diseased woman friends house it was from there when the man started saying you are a beach and this was evident coz people with the wall fence where the shorting happened confirmed to say yes this woman she sleeps around with men that how she was short before the man can turn on himself they both came from a near by bar were they where drinking not that she was followed
