A married woman in Zambia is reported to have died inside a Catholic priest’s house after she lied to her husband she was attending a funeral.
The deceased who is said to be the priest’s lover is a member of the Catholic Women’s League from St. Maurice Catholic Church in Lusaka.
It was said that Father Abel Mwelwa had invited the woman who also happens to be his lover to the parish house before the incident happened. Lusaka Times, however, reported that Archbishop Alick Banda has suspended the clergyman shortly after the incident.
An unconfirmed source said that the priest reportedly injected some substance into the deceased in an attempt to abort her pregnancy. But further investigation is presently ongoing to unravel the real cause of her death.
