Three police officers, others arrested in connection with Muleya’s murder

The Zambia Police Service has arrested four suspects in connection with the murder of Guntila Muleya, Director-General of the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA).

Police Public Relations Officer, Rae Hamoonga, stated that the suspects included two regular police officers, one reserve police officer, and a member of the public.

This diverse group of individuals are now in custody as the police continue to unravel the details surrounding Muleya’s death.

In a statement issued in Lusaka on Saturday, Hamoonga confirmed that the deceased’s official vehicle had been recovered.

This crucial piece of evidence may provide significant insights into the circumstances of the murder.

“Additionally, the police have seized two motor vehicles, three firearms, K129,300 in cash, assorted knives, and various electronic gadgets including phones, hard drives and flash disks from the suspects,” Hamoonga added.

The seizure of these items suggests a potentially complex and premeditated crime.

Hamoonga noted that the investigation was progressing well and assured the public that updates would be provided as new information comes to light.

“However, we are mindful that premature disclosure of certain details may jeopardise the ongoing investigation,” he said.
