Hamoonga said this in a statement issued in Lusaka on Monday
“This follows after Rabbeca Nakazwe, aged 39, a management staff and land lord of the boarding houses at Mungule Rockview University reported that one of the students, Kelvin Mwale, aged, 23, a tenant in one of her boarding houses was stabbed using a knife by his fellow student,” he said.

Hamoonga said Saenge will appear in court soon.
