The student has been identified as Blessings Nyondo and is currently at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

According to information at hand, the student met his fate as he was on his way to a New Year Crossover Service for Apostle Joseph Ziba.

It is alleged that the student while going to the service bumped into a gang of thugs was mugging a woman around Kwacha Round-about in Njamba area.
