A tragic incident in Chingola: a man allegedly killed his ex-wife and 8-year-old son, then was found dead, possibly by suicide.
Frank Sinkala, 42, is accused of first killing his wife, Chomba Chanda, 40, at his house in Nchanga North on Thursday before allegedly abducting their son from Chiwempala Township, where the child had been staying with his mother.
Copperbelt Province Police Commanding Officer Mwala Yuyi confirmed the incident, which was reported by a Chingola resident who discovered the body of the boy.
“Brief facts of the matter are that on Friday around 05:00 hours, the reporter went jogging behind Nchanga Rangers Football Club Stadium. While jogging, he came across the body of a boy lying on the ground in a pool of blood,” Mr Yuyi said.
He said police officers from Derricky Chiludika Police Post under Nchanga Police Station rushed to the scene and found the boy lying on the ground facing upwards, with cuts on the neck, a swollen back of the head and bruises on the body.
Several items were recovered from the scene, including a brown cap, a bunch of keys, a blue bag, a knife, a brown face towel, black plastic slippers and a small notebook containing the names of the boy and his father, together with several phone numbers.
While combing the area for more clues, officers later discovered Sinkala hanging from a tree about three metres from where the boy’s body had been found.
Mr Yuyi said the man had bloodstains on his hands and forehead.
He added that investigations had earlier revealed that Sinkala was suspected of murdering his wife, Chanda, on Wednesday.

The National Prosecution Authority (NPA) intends to file an appeal against the sentence imposed on Kitwe-based businesswoman Khadijah Agatha Mingel, a Kitwe based businesswomen.
Khadija was yesterday convicted for drug trafficking after being found in possession of 500 grammes of cocaine, a serious offence under our laws.
But the State feels the three year jail term reduced to 18 months, through a suspension was too lenient and it will appeal against it.
“The appeal will challenge the leniency of the sentence imposed by the subordinate court.
The National Prosecution Authority has taken the view that the sentence imposed does not adequately reflect the seriousness of the offence,” NPA said in a statement.
NPA notes that drug trafficking remains a significant concern for law enforcement authorities, with dangerous narcotics increasingly finding their way into communities and contributing to addiction and related criminal activity.
The prosecution maintains that sentences imposed for drug trafficking offences must provide a meaningful deterrent in order to disrupt the illicit drug trade and protect the public.
“For this reason, the State will formally lodge an appeal against the sentence.
The matter will consequently proceed to the High Court, where the appellate court will consider the State’s arguments regarding the sentence imposed.
“The High Court will determine whether the sentence passed by the trial court was appropriate in the circumstances of the case, or whether it ought to be revised in accordance with the law,”
NPA adds that it has restated its commitment to ensuring that offences involving dangerous drugs are prosecuted firmly and that sentences imposed reflect the gravity of such crimes and their impact on society.
