Brother in-law to the deceased, Higical Mulolo, explains to Byta FM Zambia News that Lipison Syankwede died at the hospital after he was stabbed in the stomach by a thief who allegedly robbed his neighbor’s house.
Mulolo explains that a neighbor to the deceased identified as Bina Nancy went to the Prophet’s house Tuesday evening to ask for help in catching a thief who was at her house.
He says before the Prophet stand from where he sat, the suspected thief passed running as he was being chased by the sister to Bina Nancy and two other men.
Mulolo narrates that the deceased joined in the chase and when he caught the thief, he was stubbed in the stomach, while the other yet to be identified man was stubbed on the head, the back and the neck.
He says the two victims were taken to the hospital where the Prophet was shortly pronounced dead, adding that the thief was caught by other people and taken to the Police.
The neighbor who went to ask for help from the Prophet, as well as her sister, are allegedly nowhere to be seen.
The deceased has left behind two wives and eleven children.
