Last Saturday, a video footage emerged showing a man identified as Kasengele being severely beaten by Zaloumi’s fifth husband, Nathaniel Barthram and three farm workers in Munyama at the female farmer’s farm.
Kasengele was then detained by police after the 40 year old farmer complained that the young man had been hired to pour poisonous chemicals on her at the farm.
While in detention, Kasengele fell ill and was taken to Kabwe General hospital hospital where he died on Sunday.
The young man’s death sparked widespread rage with netizens calling for the arrest of those linked to the video.
This afternoon, Central Province deputy commanding officer Lemekani Chirwa revealed that a postmortem was conducted on Kasengele and the results pointed to murder.
Chirwa said the results of the postmortem conducted today by Dr. Pavlo Lermontov of Kabwe Central Hospital confirmed that Kasengele died from a blunt force head injury, brain contusion and brain edema.
Chirwa said Kasengele’s body has since been handed over to relatives for burial in Lusaka while police have moved to arrest four suspects who include the Zed farmer’s young husband.
Besides Maria’s husband Barthram, police have also arrested; Gift Daka, 23, Fortune Mutangeti, 27 and Daniel Chilowa, 40.
Chirwa said the three Zambian men are employees at Zaloumis’ farm and that investigations into the matter are ongoing.
