Two male juveniles were this morning apprehended by Police in Solwezi District in North Western Province for allegedly causing the death of their friend in a fight.
North Western Province Police Chief Charles Lungu confirmed the incident to ZANIS in Solwezi today and named the deceased as Raphael Kapang’a aged 18 of Chawama compound in Solwezi district.
Mr Lungu said the incident occurred at the weekend but could however not give the exact age of the two apprehended juveniles who beat up their friend after a misunderstanding ensued at a local bar.
Mr Lungu said Kapang’a was admitted to Solwezi General Hospital after the incident and he later died on Sunday.
He noted that the matter was not immediately reported to Police and that the body was still lying in the mortuary awaiting postmortem.
And quick action by police this morning saved the two suspects from being lynched by family members of the deceased.
