THE family of murdered Eneless Hellen Kamutumbe has threatened to obtain a court injunction to restrain the extended family from proceeding with the burial.
This is after a family wrangle erupted between the children and extended family of the deceased over her burial.
Kamutumbe was murdered by a mob in Kalumbila District of North-Western Province, after being accused of causing disappearance of a 25-year-old Prince Ntambo’s private parts last Friday.
However, her extended family wants her buried in Kalumbila, where she met her tragic death while her husband Allan Ngoma and children are pushing for her to be laid to rest in Chingola, where her immediate family is based.
Family Representative, Milady Ngoma told #Kalemba in an interview, that the widower and the children said they will go ahead with the injunction should the authorities fail to persuade the deceased’s family to release the body.
Milady explained that a spouse and children should be allowed to have more power on the decisions made around the matter.
“We will not allow my brother’s wife to be buried in an area where she was mercilessly murdered. That will be very wrong,” he said.
Yesterday, Police in Northwestern Province worked around the clock to round up suspects involved in the mob killing of Eneless Hellen Kamutumbe in Kalumbila last Friday.
As of today, police are keeping in custody 279 people including the infamous “Zebra Dress” girl, Grace Njapau and the mastermind Prince Ntambo.
