Accountant Arrested for Allegedly Killing Girlfriend Weeks After Chasing Away Wife
A 38-year-old accountant, Edward Mwanamuchele, has been arrested for allegedly killing his girlfriend, 25-year-old Rhoda Munkombwe, in Chipata, just weeks after reportedly chasing his wife out of their home.
According to police, the incident occurred on the night of August 28. Mwanamuchele was seen entering his residence with Rhoda, but hours later, disturbing noises were heard from the house by his landlord, Moonga Ngobeka. When confronted, Mwanamuchele claimed he had misplaced his keys. Ngobeka later used a spare key to enter the house and found Rhoda lying unconscious in a pool of blood.
She was rushed to Chipata Central Hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival. Police say preliminary investigations suggest she suffered a deep head wound from a metal bar, along with multiple leg injuries and bruises across her body.
When the landlord returned from the hospital, he allegedly found Mwanamuchele attempting to clean blood from the sitting room. Authorities say the suspect tried to flee when confronted but was apprehended.
Eastern Province Police Commanding Officer Robertson Mweemba confirmed that bloodstains were discovered in several rooms of the house. The victim’s body has been placed in the mortuary pending a postmortem examination, while Mwanamuchele remains in custody as investigations continue.
