POLICE officers in Lusaka have shot dead a police reserve identified as Steve Nsomekela for allegedly raping a woman at gun point.
Nsonekela aged 29 of Silverest last Friday alleged raped a woman who later reported him to police.
This came to light when police officers were investigating a case of rape where a woman had reported that she was raped at gun point by a person who was in police uniform.
Confirming the development yesterday, Police Spokesperson Esther Mwaata Katongo said the act was reported to have happened in the vehicle of the suspect.
“Without the suspect noticing , the victim grabbed some documents from the vehicle which she presented to police,” Katongo said.
Katongo said that investigations pointed to the said suspect who was apprehended by police.
“Officers further went with the suspect home for recoveries where they got a pistol and some police uniforms,” Katongo added.
She explains that whilst there, the suspect attempted to jump over the wall fence, situation which led to officers to shoot him on the hip.
“He unfortunately died on the way to UTH where he was being rushed. The body is in UTH mortuary,” said Katongo.
Police ware supposed to shoot him in the buttocks so that his front machine could have been shattered,these are the thugs denting police image.Police reserves are criminals big tym
Serves him right
My contribution on this Police officer who was shot dead,the Bible says every sin which man does is forgiven but who sins against his body will not be for given to those only who knows christ but to non christians please ask for Gods forgiveness and repent all your sins but aim very sorry he has died without asking Gods forgiveness.
Agent of the devil
He deserves how do you rape someone’s woman?
I wish I could follow him in hell s that I kill him even there.
Nice work guys. Lunch on me : ),will be at Thorn Park market (matebeto)14th Jun 2017 @ 13hours. Will pay lunch for a man in uniform
This story is not making sense and the officer accused of rape didn’t have a chance to appear before court. The police took matters into their own hands. Its their story against the dead man’s story, this can be a cover up for all we know. Lets not be quick to take the police word without investigating such claims made by the police force. How can you shoot down your very own?
Sorry am not convinced!!!
He was not shot for raping the woman please! what journalism is this? He was shot to stop him from escaping
