A MAN of Serenje in Central Province has gone on the run after beating his wife to death for dancing with another man at the bar.
Â
What begun as a happy weekend outing for Brian Mambwe and his wife Judith Mukosha eventually ended in a ghastly crime of passion.
Â
In defiance of Dr Brian Sampa’s ban alcohol campaign, hand-in-hand the couple strolled to a local bar to swallow some intoxicating beverages.
Â
After one or two drinks, the music became irresistible to Mambwe’s wife who vacated her seat and stormed the dance area to jive away her stress.
Â
However, this did not go down well with Mambwe especially that his wife even picked a male dancing partner.
Â
On their way, home Mambwe brought up the issue of his wife dancing with another man but the discussion took an ugly violent turn.
Â
In the ensuing physical fight, Mambwe picked an object and repeatedly hit his 35-year old wife resulting in her death.
Â
After noticing he had knocked out his wife cold, all the alcohol sublimed from Mambwe’s blood streams making him realise he was facing prospects of meeting the hangman if caught.
Â
Mambwe then took off and and is currently hiding in one of the massive farms of Serenje.
Â
Central Province Police Commanding Officer Dennis Moola confirmed the incident to ZANIS in an interview.
Â
Moola added that the deceased’s mother Iness Chibuye 53, reported the matter to the police.
Â
The Police chief also revealed that Mambwe is currently on the run and that police have since instituted a manhunt.
