Two men have been brutally killed by an instant justice mob in Lusaka’s Chazanga Township after they attempted to steal from one of the homes.
Lusaka Province Police chief Charity Katanga said the two met their fate when they attempted to steal from a Ms Chola’s residence in the early hours of yesterday.
She said Ms Chola called for help upon realising that the criminals had entered her house.
The neighbours descended on the two thieves and beat them to death.
Ms Katanga said the bodies of the deceased have been taken to the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) awaiting identification.
She said no arrests have been made so far but the police have opened an inquiry file into the matter

No need for investigations. Just bury them and close the chapter.

This is extreme savagery! If this had occured in South Africa, they would have been cry of xenophobia. No person, deserves to be killed on suspicion of being a thief, or illegal immigrant or being a barotse activist!! This is murder!!

I leave in Kabangwe, these thieves have been stealing in my homes around that area. I am a victim and they also stole from us. Good for them, there is always time to reap what you sow.

Had not Ms Chola called for help these men could have raped and killed her before stealing from her home.

True. Just shoot to kill once they enter your yard. But the ones in the pic above though, ekuponokwa uku zoona. Reduced to a fetal position.

“It’s everyday for the thief and one day for the owner” These guys thought they would go on and on stealing, without being caught. Alas! an end to their cheap thinking career resulted into death.
