Riots Erupt in Katete

 ROYD MOONGA

Riots  have broken out in Katete following the murder of grade 12 pupil of Katete Day High School last week as she was returning from school.

Pupils from various schools in Katete and Chipata set ablaze shops owned by suspects linked to the  murder of the teenage girl.  Sources have disclosed that Kaysons Wholesalers, an Asian-owned shop, is currently on fire and Mr Paris Shop  have been burnt to ashes.  Looters spared only Pep and DAPP Stores, with one police officer suffering a broken leg in the chaos.

Police last week lauched a Man hunt for the killers and managed to nab one suspect who has since disclosed several names of local and Indian Businesmen involved in the suspected ritual murders.
