She has since appealed to members of public who could have fallen victim to George Mulolo to report at Police Service headquarters in room 216.

She states that Mulolo is currently in custody and will appear in court soon.
Meanwhile, an unidentified man aged between 25 and 30 was this morning burnt to death by members of the community in Lusaka’s garden house area.
