State Begins Parading Witnesses in Refugees Murder
State has started parading witnesses in a case of manslaughter and human trafficking which the son of former first lady, Tadikira Mafubza and seven others are answering
Meanwhile High court has adjourned the case to Thursday 20th October after a plea by Kolezi Phiri, lawyer of the third accused David Luhanga who asked for the adjournment because his client was not in good health following an accident he was involved in a couple of days ago.
According to Phiri, Luhanga had developed fever thus making it difficult for him to fully participate in the proceedings of Wednesday
Phiri argued that in pursuit of fair trial, Luhanga is required to be present in court and in good health therefore pleading with the court to adjourn the case to tomorrow Thursday for his client to get medical attention.
Responding to the petition, Senior State advocate Dziko ndi anthu Malunda agreed with the defense saying much as they would like to have the hearing of the case continued, it involves Luhanga and as such it is important to have him in court in all matters relating to crimes he allegedly committed.
Meanwhile Justice Gladys Gondwe has agreed with both sides therefore granting the wish of the defense thus adjourning the case.
