Police in Kasama, Northern Province, have arrested a man suspected of raping and killing a 52-year-old woman in Kasama.
The victim was found dead and partially naked inside her home, lying in the living room—a scene suggesting she was sexually assaulted before being murdered.
Northern Province Police Commanding Officer, Lucky Munkhondya, said that upon receiving the report, a Brought In Dead (BID) form was issued, and the body was deposited at Kasama General Hospital mortuary awaiting post-mortem examination.
“The arrest has been made, and the suspect will appear in court soon,” Munkhondya stated.

According to preliminary reports, on August 10, 2025, at around 08:00 hours, Joyce Bwalya, aged 49, went to check on her friend Prisca Shisa, 52, at her rented house after calling out her name several times without response.
When Bwalya entered the house, she discovered Shisa lying dead and partially naked.
She immediately alerted the deceased’s relatives, who reported the matter to Kasama Central Police.
Police visited the scene and found the deceased lying on a chitenge material, with visible bruises on her cheek and neck.
The body was later taken to Kasama General Hospital mortuary for post-mortem examination.
