Why won’t the Bishop be named? We as Zambians need to know the EVIL MEN behind the death of Ruth, a beautiful Daughter of Zambian…Shame that such EVIL should happen here in Zambia, a Christian Nation, are we now taking after the EVIL CONGOLESE NATIONALS?SHAME

An eye for an eye. Even the Bible in the book of Leviticus 24:20 say it: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has injured the other, so he is to be injured.
MAY ALL THOSE WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THE MURDER OF THE YOUNG LADY BE PUNISHED TO THE FULL EXTEND OF THE LAW.

How do you expect this issue to be airtight?i need all renowned bishops to speak against this murder on tv tonight.
Gods grace to Ruths family.

may the police do their best to bring the culprists to book. criminals should not just be seen killing innocent lives and walking freely in the streets. it is very common nowadays for those people who call themselves pastors,bishops, prophets to be found in illegal activities that abrogate the laws of our land.
may God punish those evil ones who murdered an innocent potential HR specialist.
iam too devasted…..Police help us!!!!

July 20, 2012 at 11:05 am
now its time to debate about death sentence by hanging coz whoever did that,should be ahnged so that he goes quickly,can anybody say it was by accident that he/she killed her like that,zambia is a christian nation not on this,most pipo who are in support of this they have’t experienced what this family is goig through. kill them aswell.

my heart felt pain goes to the family especially mother and siblings.May ALMIGHTY GOD comfort you during this trying moment and my prayer is that let the killers find no peace.let this death hurt them to the extent that they surrender themselves to the police.GOD is slow to anger but HE will never leaver a sinner go unpunished.

Ah, the Bishop is also involved…..So why get her eyes, so the bishop can use them to prophesy about the future ati they are prophets from God. Shame!

Bravo to the police,
I got suspicious of the uncle immediately the incident happened, he came out to me as not shocked and his statement had lots of loopholes!
He was also trying too hard to be agrieved and thought he could fool everyone by referring everything to God, we got to solve some mysteries here and now, man of God!!!

This is the reason as to why advocates of abolition of death sentence should think twice.The persons who killed Ruth did not care about her life.They brutally murdered her without any concern.If death penalty is abolished,they will stay in prison for a long time.Therafter,they will receive presidential clemency.Is it fair really?I think death sentence should be upheld in our constitution.

A song for Ruth – Serenaded By Angels ( Kirk Talley)
“She went to sleep one night
Never to awake again
But everything was alright
Between her and him
She awoke in heaven’s court yard
Free from pain within
The angels gathered around her
And took her by the hand.
Serenaded by Angels, up to the throne
Serenaded by angels, finally at home
Surrounded by praises, to the king
Welcome to Paradise, the angels did sing.
Now I close my eyes at night
And try to imagine, that city of brilliant light
Waiting for me. But my mind cannot conceive
So I’ll continue to dream, till I am transported there
Then I will be”
Sleep in Jesus arms sweetheart. You may have gone without your eyes, but that doesn’t matter anymore. They have remained with your eyes, but for what use we may ask and we may never know, and it doesn’t matter anymore. Sleep in heavenly peace child, your tormentors cannot hurt you anymore. Your cries on that fateful day has remained planted only in their heads. There are not at peace, they are in anguish, their days are numbered, but for you dearest, you lie in your grave, not alone but with Jesus watching over you, with the Angels serenading your grave day and night. Go well, Go well young soul.

Why is the mother defending the uncle just because he is a family member – maybe the uncle knows what happened; maybe it was a ritual for business, or something else. In normal police cases, the nuclear family members are the first suspects.
MHSRIP and her murderers brought to book – family member, pastor or not
