ZAMBIA – A 37-year-old in Zambia has allegedly been killed by a mentally disturbed man for threatening to beat him while urinating on a rubbish pit.

Police spokesperson Esther Katongo said in an interview that Swaziwell Banda of Chief Nkomesha’s area was murdered by a suspected mentally disturbed person identified as Faindani Banda commonly known as ‘Zambia’ using a piece of wood.
