According to police spokesperson Sergeant Noloyiso Rwexana, five of the suspects were arrested for two cases of murder.
Two suspects, aged 34 and 38, were caught after the alleged assault of a 22-year-old man from the Siyahlala informal settlement. The man died in hospital as a result of the assault.
Rwexana said the deceased man was allegedly assaulted after a woman was heard screaming on Tuesday morning.

Three other suspects were apprehended in connection with a murder in Lusaka last Wednesday. The trio allegedly assaulted a 22-year-old victim in Yantolo Street.

“The suspects allegedly poured hot water over the complainant after an altercation in Nomvecu Street in Browns Farm.”
The suspects are expected to appear in court on Monday.
