Lusaka High Court Judge, Bonaventure Mbewe in his ruling said the convict stabbed his wife several times with intent to kill, with one of the stab wounds being 11 meters deep.

In his defence, Luwisi, 45, a Zimbabwean, submitted that he stabbed his 38 -year- old wife several times after she told him that he was not the father of their two children. 

The two had been married for 18 years.

According to evidence on record, Muligwi had moved out of their matrimonial home in Foxdale because of the convict’s extra-marital affairs.

She rented a house at 121, Jesmodine, where she lived with the two children of the family.

Muligwi was murdered at her house on December 10, 2022.
