A Woman in Nchelenge District has been arrested for allegedly causing the death of her husband after burning him with hot water, Police have said.
Nelly Musonda, 52, claimed that her husband had suffered an illness which caused the burns but investigations proved that he died as a result of burns from hot water.
Ms Musonda of Chibule Village in Chief Mununga’s area is alleged to have burnt her husband, Chibale Chibule, 46, between July 26 and August 2 this year, the day he died and was later buried without the knowledge of his family.
Luapula Province Police Commissioner Malcolm Mulenga, said yesterday that Ms Chibule did not report to the Police that she had burnt her husband with hot water.
“The wife had told the deceased’s relatives that he suffered and died from herpes zoster,” Mr Mulenga said.
Mr Mulenga said Ms Musonda only informed the Police that she had already buried her husband.
Mr Mulenga said information reaching officers in Nchelenge indicated that the deceased had wounds as a result of being poured hot water.
Investigations have been launched in the matter.

Sad news from Nchelenge. This woman must also be arrested. Things are slowly turning the other way round. Women are becoming perpetrators of Gender based violence. Our mothers Why?
