ZAMBIAN police have shot and killed one murder suspect and arrested another in their enquiry into the killing of a son of former president Kenneth Kaunda, Home Affairs Minister Peter Machungwa said. The minister also said that a fifth suspect in the November 4 killing of Major Wezi Kaunda is still on the run. Machungwa said the arrest of Amon Banda on Saturday brought to three the number of people arrested in connection with the killing of Kaunda, a leading opposition politician who was seen as being groomed to take charge of his father’s political party. The suspect shot dead at the weekend was named as Julis Matokoloshi, who was killed trying to evade arrest. “In an effect to disable him, police fired at him and unfortunately he died,” said Machungwa.
