Betty Sampa, 60 of Woodlands extension died at the University Teaching Hospital yesterday morning.
Sampa was attacked and hacked together with her gardener before she was robbed.
Eight criminals armed with machetes and a pistol besieged Sampa’s home around 20:00 hours on February 29 as she was having dinner and started beating her before they demanded money

This is the result of arming cadres with machetes so called pangas. The PF cadres have no human morals. All they yearn to see is blood shed and death. Now what will they have to say about this? Let Lungu act and disarm his cadres.
your brains are contaminated with faeces

Our beloved senior citizen and mother deserves a state send off. Sad indeed. RIP mama. May God avenge.
It is with heartfelt grief and condolences that I post this message. It pains to lose a gallant citizen of Zambia and most importantly a loving mother. May her soul and the souls of the faithfull departed rest in Gods eternal piece and mercy. Amen.
May Her Soul Rest in Peace. Its really sad….
Whoever killed the old lady will never see peace in his life.
MHSRIP and woo to th robbers.

Tumfweko deleting my comments. We all know that these are political pf cadres who think they own zambia.
I will comment again as my comment was deleted by forces that do not want anything better for zambia. We in upnd pass our sincere condolences to the family and friends of this poor old lady. We mourn with you and cannot imagine what you are going through. Surely it is not acceptable that we can be losing senior citizens in such attacks which we know are down to poor economic performance by the pf. What we have are groups of youth who are unemployed and see crime as the only alternative. To go to the extent of killing a mother of the nation such as this woman, really shows how bad things are security wise in zambia. We ask you all to do the right thing in august and save your country
If you look very carefully you will notice that she is showing viewers a hacked off finger.Sad.This is what introducing pangas can bring Mr Lungu, you will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
Those who did this,,,,God will deal with them & they ll live a life of regrets.
This is very sad indeed.
Who does this to a defenseless old lady? How do you live with yourself after such an act? You will surely never see peace in your remaining miserable days on earth, God will punish you for this satanic act. May the soul of our dear mum rest in peace.
Ohh how sad…. My deepest condolences to the family. Rest in peace…..
Very sad indeed, MHSRIP.
Very sad indeed.And then some moron thinks about politcs.Guys have a heart.
WHAT A HORIBBLE THING TO DO TO SUCH A DEFENCELESS OLD WOMAN.
PF cadres have become overzealous because law is in their own hands, they can do anything but a curse in this case will follow them to the very end of their lives
RIP MAMA THESE ARE THE LAST DAYS.
OMG!!!! Zambians!! it’s not like it’s Zambia. What did our mum do to deserve such cruelty honestly? Who ever is trying to politicise this should just get a life too and stop condemning on innocent pipo.Let’s pray for the family and console them these panga things are just vague .may the soul of our dear parent rest in peace. whoever is involved, akafwa infwa iyibi sana.
Zambia the Christian nation is becoming more and more like Nigeria when it comes to crime. What a shame!!
i will think twice about getting a dualcitizenship with Zambia. Why should i swap my safety and freedom, for a life with lawless savages with pangas, greed, and jealousy?

let’s have reinforcement around this and many areas to curb down on the these sorts of unthinkable acts by ruthless thugs ,I live in this area and these crimes have taken center stage where citizens are attacked in front of there gates ,reports r there at the police to show but no actions taken ,we need well coordinated night patrol s .these chaps just sit and chat all night while getting paid with our hard earned tax payers money .they need to serve and protect the citizens of this great peace loving nation .its overwhelmingly sad to continue losing lives like this .my heart felt and deepest condolences to the bereaved family. mhsriep.
