Police in Lusaka have formally arrested a 26 year old woman of Mtendere east who burnt her lover’s wife with hot porridge.
Zambia Police Service Spokesperson Charity Munganga Chanda has confirmed the arrest of Linda Mwela and says she has been released on police bond.
And the complainant Dorica Banda says after talks among affected families she is contemplating on charging the accused two thousand kwacha as compensation.
Ms Banda says she is scared that her husband’s life may be at risk following threats by Ms. Mwela’s relatives that if she is sent to jail they too would seek revenge.
