A 26-year-old woman, identified as Vainess Kanyama, has d!ed after she was allegedly attacked and b3aten by her husband’s alleged side chick in Kitwe, Zambia.
The incident reportedly occurred on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, after Kanyama, who lived in Kapoto Township, allegedly went to confront the suspect, Christin Ntundwe, over an alleged affair with her husband.
Woman Found Unconscious Near Market
The victim’s uncle, Derrick Bwalya, confirmed the incident and said he received a call informing him that his niece had been found unconscious near a market.
According to Bwalya, he immediately rushed to the scene and found several people gathered around Kanyama.
“I found my niece bleeding from the nose and she was unresponsive and when I attempted to take her to the hospital, I was told that she had already d!ed,” he said.
The matter was subsequently reported to the police.
Bwalya said Kanyama had been living with her husband in the area before she reportedly went to confront Ntundwe, who also resides in Kapoto.
He added that one of Kanyama’s daughters, who had accompanied her, reportedly returned home and alerted relatives after finding her mother unconscious.
Post-Mortem Reveals Cause of D3ath
The family reportedly buried Kanyama on Friday following a post-mortem examination.
According to her uncle, the examination revealed that she d!ed from blood clots on both sides of the brain.
The family is calling for justice and wants the circumstances surrounding her d3ath to be thoroughly investigated.
Bwalya also urged Kanyama’s husband to cooperate with the police and assist investigators in locating the suspect, who is reportedly on the run.
Kanyama is survived by three children, the youngest of whom is five years old.
