Love for firewood has landed a blind man of Sesheke District in Western Province in trouble after he accidentally axed his one year old granddaughter to death.
The incident happened after the baby, who was in the custody of other children, went wondering about.
It was at this moment that the baby was axed on the head after crawling where 49 year old Fanwel Kamamba was chopping firewood.
Zambia Police Assistant Public Relations Officer, Esther Mwata-Katongo, confirmed that the suspect is in police custody and has been charged with murder.

Even the Bible is very clear,if a man kills with an axe accidently he is not guity of murder. Whatmore the man been blind.
Our police should bring this man to court soonest so that the courts can declare him innocent.
HH was arrested and taken to court the same hour, but the poor blind man may rot in remind prison. such is our law.

State should immediately release the blind man and the blame is on shoulder of the state for not offering assistive devices to blind people.

Even those who comment with non-existent words like “falsed” instead of “forced” should be jailed for wasting their parents money and tax payers money and not learning anything at school!

Surely the blind man is innocent.Police reassure the man that you are just following the procedure and he will soon be out.
