THE family of 61-YEAR-OLD Baxston Kapansa says the pain of watching their father being brutally beaten on video is something they may never recover from.
Baxston Kapansa’s family revealed that the emotional wounds inflicted by watching their father being assaulted are still fresh.
According to his son, Lameck Kapansa, the elderly man was attacked while on his way from church by a man claiming to be the uncle of one of the alleged victims in the now-dismissed “missing manhood” saga.
Shortly after the rumours spread, an overzealous relative of one of the complainants took matters into his own hands and delivered what the family has described as an “unwarranted physical punishment.”
“Some of us could not even finish watching the video of what they did to him. The sight of our father being beaten was too much to bear,” Lameck said.
The video, which has since made rounds on social media platforms, shows the elderly man being kicked and beaten, leaving him with injuries that have affected his mobility.
However, police inspections later revealed that the biological “Strait of Hormuz” of all the alleged victims were safe and intact, clearing Kapansa of the bizarre accusations.
Meanwhile, officers at Chingola Central Police Station have since apprehended the suspect following a formal complaint lodged by the victim’s family.
With investigations still ongoing, the Kapansa family has called for justice, stating that the physical injuries and emotional trauma inflicted on their father cannot go unpunished.
“The culprit must be brought to book. We want justice for our father,” Lameck added.
Police confirmed the arrest and said a formal statement will be issued today.
“[The suspect] has been arrested for Assault (OABH) and remains in custody. A Press statement will be released..,” police spokesperson Godfrey Chilabi confirmed.
