A SECURITY guard in Mfuwe has been murdered by thieves in a case of aggravated robbery.
Eastern Province Police Commissioner, Geza Lungu, said the thieves broke into a shop owned by Simon Phiri 46, and got away with an undisclosed assorted items whose value has not yet been established.
Mr. Lungu said during the course of the aggravated robbery, the thieves attacked Patrick Peyama, who was guarding the premises.
He said the security guard was hit with an unknown object on the head and he died on the spot.
“The thieves gained entrance and exit into the shop using the main door. Police visited the crime scene and found the body of the security guard left in the shop by the thieves,” he said.
Mr. Lungu said police have since launched a manhunt for the assailants who are believed to be on the run.
“Some of the stolen items have been recovered. We are appealing to members of the public with information leading to the arrest of assailants to report to the police,” he said.
Mr. Lungu said the body of the security guard has been deposited in Kamoto Mission Hospital awaiting postmortem.
