Nkhata Bay Police Spokesperson Ignatius Esau said Vitumbuko mate his fate on the morning of September 26, 2017, as he was on his way to St Maria Goreth primary school where he was a learner.
“As he was crossing from right to left hand side of the road behind a moving vehicle, he was hit by a moving motor vehicle registration number MG 830 Toyota land cruiser that was being driven by a Mr Rabson Silungwe which was going to the opposite direction”, said Eaau.
He added, “following the impact, the deceased who hailed from Japi village in the area of Traditional Authority Mkumbira in Nkhata Bay district sustained head injuries and was rushed to Nkhata Bay district hospital where he died some hours later whilst receiving treatment”, he affirmed.
